Exercise - Create a leave plan

Completed

In this exercise, you'll create a leave plan for employees and then set an accrual rate of 10 hours each month for new employees and 12 hours each month for employees who have reached their five-year anniversary. Each plan will allow employees to carry forward a year's worth of paid vacation time into the next year.

Before you begin

The exercises in this module assume that you're working in a sandbox environment of Dynamics 365 Human Resources.

To get the most out of both exercises, we recommend that you have the standard sample data that is available in Human Resources.
