| Paid absence unit | isPaidLeaveUnit | Boolean | Yes | Days of absences of this type add to the paid absence days payroll unit source, for example for a vacation premium. |
| Entitlement | entitlement | Constant | Yes | None: no cap. Calendar year: the days-per-year cap. Service-year ledger: the balance comes from rights granted by tenure tiers. |
| Days per year | daysPerYear | Decimal | Annual allowance in day equivalents. Partial absences consume fractions based on planned hours. Empty means no cap. Zero means a cap of zero days. | |
| Entitlement validity (months) | entitlementValidityMonths | Whole Number | Months after the end of the service year when a granted right expires. | |
| Allow exceeding cap | allowExceedingAllowance | Boolean | Yes | The cap exists and may be exceeded. When off, the absence fails if the employee has already used all days for that year. An empty days-per-year value means there is no cap. |
