    Probation period: 3 months

    Staff joined date: 1st Jan 2022

    The date that staff can start taking the leave: 1st April 2022

    Although a probation period has been set, the users with manager or owner access level (E.g. HR) can still override it for exceptional cases like awarding staff annual leave for their excellent performance even when they are on probation.
