How Do I Set a User's Start Date and/or End Date?
Within Vacation Tracker you can set both the employee's start date and end date. The start date can be used for resetting the yearly quota. The end date can be used for your own records or for contractor-type employees.
What end-date does
Users are not able to request leave past the end date, and once the end date is reached, the User will be deactivated.Reset by start date
