A new feature, Create Leave for Absent Without Leave Timesheets, has been added.  This feature allows employers to process unproductive days (e.g., Public Holidays) as Leave entries for employees who are entitled to be paid.

1. When the feature is enabled:
   1. Leave entries are automatically created for Approved Timesheets where the Reason flagged is Absent Without Leave provided the employee is eligible to be paid for that day.
   2. The Absent Without Leave type must be:
      1. Mapped to the respective Earn Type; or
      2. Linked via Leave-Payroll Links in the Benefits module to ensure the employee is paid.
   3. For Timesheets on a workflow:
      1. Leave entries are created when the final-stage Timekeeper posts or approves the record.
      2. If a Timesheet is unposted, its corresponding Leave entry is deleted.
2. When the feature is disabled:
   1. For Pay Group Settings configured via HRplus Time>>Maintenance>>Payroll Defaults>>Pay Groups with the following Time and Attendance Parameters:
      1. Post Straight Timesheets to Cycle Changes is set to Yes, and
      2. Salaried Worker ST is set to Productive Time Only.
   2. Then:

1. Records with valid attendance will be paid through Cycle Changes.
2. Absent Without Leave records will be excluded from Cycle Changes and no Leave entries will be created.
