Query on Leave Calculation

I have a query: If an employee takes 2 half days in a month, the total column shows 2, but it should only be counted as one leave. Could you please advise on how to reflect this accurately as 1?

To accurately reflect 2 half days taken by an employee as only 1 leave in the Annual Leave Record for leave encashment, you can follow these steps:

- Update the calculation method: Adjust the calculation method in the Total column to count 2 half days as 1 leave instead of 2. This adjustment will ensure that the total accurately represents the number of leave days taken by the employee.
- Modify the leave tracking system: If you are using a software or system to track leave, make the necessary modifications to ensure that 2 half days are recorded as 1 leave day. This may involve customizing the settings or configurations within the system.
- Communicate the change: Inform all relevant stakeholders, including employees and HR personnel, about the updated method of recording leave. Clear communication will help avoid any confusion or discrepancies in leave calculations.
- Review and validate: Regularly review the Annual Leave Record to ensure that the adjustment is accurately reflecting the leave taken by employees. Validate the data to maintain accuracy in leave encashment calculations.

By implementing these steps, you can ensure that the Annual Leave Record accurately reflects the leave taken by employees, including instances where 2 half days should be counted as 1 leave day.
