Leave Adjustment Form

A leave adjustment form is used to correct leave or attendance records after the fact, for example changing casual leave to sick leave, reversing a wrong debit, converting LWP to paid leave or marking a missed punch as present. It creates an approved audit trail for every change to a balance.
