!!!DEFINE LEAVE SCHEDULES
Leave Schedules provide the ability to administer [leave policies|LEAVE POLICIES] for different sets of employees. They may be defined and maintained through the Define Leave Schedules (IALS) form.

Users fill in the lowest level of eligibility. If it is a group that is qualified for a specific [time code|TIME_CODE]/[leave policy|LEAVE POLICIES] then only the group needs to be chosen; the application will complete entity and unit. For person code/name - entity, unit and group will not be completed and should be left blank.
