Half-day leave requests behave differently depending on the counter type:

• Working Days: If a half-day leave overlaps with a half-day company holiday, no days are deducted.
• Calendar Days / French Calendar Days: Always deduct 0.5 days, even when overlapping with a half-day holiday.

Employees can request morning or afternoon half-day leave, and the calculation on half-day holidays may vary depending on local regulations.

Configuration Impact

Company Configured to Count Holidays as Working Days

Effect: Company holidays are treated as workable days Impact on Half Day Scenarios:

• Working Days: Same logic applies, but with full hours counted instead of 0 hours
• Calendar Days: Half day holidays treated as workable, with full hours counted
• French Calendar Days: Half day holidays treated as workable, with full hours counted

Company NOT Configured to Count Holidays as Working Days (default)

Effect: Company holidays are treated as non-workable days Impact on Half Day Scenarios:

• Working Days: Same logic applies, with 0 hours counted
• Calendar Days: Half day holidays treated as non-workable, with 0 hours counted
• French Calendar Days: Half day holidays treated as non-workable, with 0 hours counted

Conclusion

The analysis reveals significant differences in how half day holidays are handled across counter types:

• Working Days counters prevent double counting of the same half day
• Calendar Days counters use simple half day logic without double counting prevention
• French Calendar Days counters delegate half day leaves to bypass French rules

This inconsistency could lead to user confusion and unexpected leave deductions. Recommendation: Consider standardizing the half day holiday logic across all counter types to provide a consistent user experience.

Step-by-step process for managing half-day and full-day leave requests

1. The employee submits a half-day or full-day leave request.
2. Identify the type of leave requested:
   • FIRST_HALF_OFF → Morning leave request
   • LAST_HALF_OFF → Afternoon leave request
   • FULL_DAY → Full day leave request
3. Check if there is a company holiday on that day:
   • No company holiday → Standard leave processing applies
   • Full-day company holiday → No deduction
   • Half-day company holiday → Continue to step 4
4. When the company holiday is a half-day, identify the counter type:
   • Working Days
   • Calendar Days
   • French Calendar Days
5. If the counter type is Working Days, check whether the leave matches the holiday:
   • Same half-day → No deduction (Day off)
   • Different half-day → Deduct half day
   • Full-day leave → Deduct one full day
6. If the counter type is Calendar Days or French Calendar Days:
   • Always deduct half a day, regardless of the half affected.
7. Apply the result accordingly:
   • Standard processing → Deduction based on the counter type
   • 0.0 days deducted, 0 hours counted →
     • Full-day company holiday
     • Working Days: leave matches holiday half
   • 0.5 days deducted, half hours counted →
     • Working Days: different half-day
     • Calendar Days: always half-day deduction
     • French Calendar Days: always half-day deduction
   • 1.0 day deducted, full hours counted →
     • Working Days: full-day leave during a half-day company holiday
