It is new type of leave in which user is able to select first or second half of day for desired leave. This type of leave spans only for a single day and there's no end date (when selected, you won't see it on "Create Vacation Document" request).
If a user wants to take more than one half-day leave, then it is necessary to create multiple requests - one per each calendar day. Taking half-day leave reduces available vacation days quota by 0.5 (half a day) - see below (3).
To request half-day leave, you have to select date (1) and half of day (2). Option AM stands for first half of workday and PM stands for second half.

Be advised:
- "1st half" is valid not only for shifts that are placed between 12:00 AM till 11:59 AM hours;
- "2nd half" stands for shift hours located not only between 12:00 PM till 11:59 PM hours.
Here it is crucial to underline that half of selected working day hours are taken out, when such leave is selected by a user and accepted by his/her manager. By half of selected day hours, it is meant an exact half of calendar day working hours (50%). The split is made exactly in half of working day hours.
Example:
In a scenario where user named John works between i.e. 06:30 AM till 02:30 PM (8 hours of standard full-time shift = 100% of working hours), when:
- If "1st half" is ticked, then it means that only first half of his work hours located thoroughly in AM time frame are taken into account. As he is employed to work 8 hours shift, then 50% of it means to be 4 hours of working day between 06:30 AM till 10:30 AM.
- If John decided to select "2nd half", then hours from 10:30 AM till 02:30 PM are taken out and assigned to such leave (this is also a 50% of working day hours).
