For working day | in the Apply a special leave adjustment of box, enter a positive value to add to special leave balance, or negative value to deduct from the special leave balance. You can also enter decimal values. |
Note
Ideally, no two categories should overlap. However, Zenoti does not prevent you from setting up categories that overlap.
After you create the attendance rules, as employees check in/check out every day, the system applies the corresponding rule and the related benefits or penalties. You can see the leave balance from the Payroll > Attendance page.
