What are Restricted Days?
Restricted Days are days in which employees working in a particular department are restricted from applying for leave.
They are used for implementing stop-leave on certain days. Employees can still apply for leave, but the system will give a warning that the day is a restricted day at application stage and again at approval stage.
Adding, editing and deleting Restricted Days
Restricted Days are configured in Payroll & Leave > Leave > Restricted Days.

If Unticked both Authoriser and Employee will get a warning that this is a Restricted Day before applying/authorising, however the Authoriser can still approve the leave (for emergency purposes).
If Ticked the Employee will receive an error and will not be able to apply for leave on the restricted day.
