SYMPTOM:

You have a few newly joined employees. They will be under Probation for (say) three months. During probation, they cannot avail of any Leave. In other words, only 'Unpaid' Leaves can be issued to them. However, they can take Leaves once they are 'confirmed' in the services of your Company.

The requirement is that over a year, a total of fourteen (14) Leaves will be issued, but only one at a time will accrue as on the 28th day of every month.

Thus, the employee can take all of the Leaves only on 28.12.2000, given that the Leave Calendar of the Company spans from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000.

Attaching the Leave Structure for 9 months will not serve your purpose, since it will diminish the total number of Issuable Leaves from '14' to '(14 * 9/12)' = 10.50.

RESOLUTION:

Let us assume that, you have a Head of Leave as 'Annual Leave'. Mark the Leave Rule as 'Pro-rated distribution' over the whole Period, Number of days as 'Fixed: 14 days', and enter '28' against the Credited on specific date of a month option.

Further, mark Applicable After as '3 Months'.  Finally, you may opt to 'Round off' the accrued balance to a desired value, say, to the closest whole number (i.e., opt for '1.00' against Closest).

The above measures will enable Leaves to be issued, proportionately, coupled with a validation that they can be issued only after 3 months' time after the joining of an employee. Leave however, will continue to accrue all through, even over the Period of Probation, as described in the 'Symptoms' section above.
