Leave policy wizard on the Allowance step with step list outlined

The wizard walks through six steps:

  • Details — name, color, hours vs days, active or inactive.

  • Allowance — yearly grant vs accrual, carryover, caps, and (for hourly teams) optional earn-from-tracked-time rules.

  • Proration — how hire and termination dates affect the first and last period.

  • Requests — required notes, notice periods, min/max duration, waiting periods after join.

  • Assignment — which org roles and people receive this policy.

  • Approval — who approves and optional auto-approve after N days.

On Approval, choose Reports-to manager (org chart), Specific roles, or Specific people. Make sure requesters have a reports-to person or parent role when using reports-to — otherwise required approvals cannot be routed.
