Leave Calculation

This PHPMaker 2024 project will show you how to get the actual working days of Employee’s Leave, by excluding the Holidays and Weekend Days (Saturday and Sunday), so that those days will not be included as the Number of Days of Employee’s Leave.

It will also check whether a Date is conflict with the certain Date Range. In addition, if Two Dates conflict with the certain Date Range, then system will also prevent such data inserted into the Database.

Imagine if you do not handle this, then system will allow to store Employee’s Leave with Date Periode (for example) 2023-04-03 to 2023-04-06 with another conflicted period: 2023-04-05 to 2023-04-07 for the same Employee! The two date periods appear to overlap between one to another, and this project will not allow it is saved into Database.
