This resource is used for workflow purposes.A LeavePeriod is the continuous period of absence requested by the employee or entered by HR. It is linked to a LeaveRequest if workflow applies.A Leave is the subdivision of a LeavePeriod. There is one Leave per half-day of the LeavePeriod. Each Leave is linked to a LeaveAccount, which represent the type of leave (PTO, Sick Leave, Congés payés, RTT, etc).
