Some organizations configure Unpaid Leave as an activity that does not consume entitlements and is handled independently of entitlement balances.

Business Purpose

• Allows organizations to grant time off without allocating entitlement balances
• Supports exceptional or ad-hoc absence scenarios
• Keeps entitlement policies simple where unpaid leave does not require tracking

System Behavior

• Unpaid Leave is configured as a non-entitlement activity
• Requests or shift changes using this activity do not trigger entitlement lookup or balance deduction
• Approval and application follow standard activity configuration and scheduling rules
