• Key Concepts: 
  Special Leave is a type of leave that is granted to an employee for a specific purpose. It is usually granted for a short period of time and is not part of the employee's regular leave entitlement. Special Leave can be used for a variety of reasons, such as attending a funeral, taking care of a sick family member, or participating in a special event. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP HCM Personnel Administration, Special Leave can be requested and approved by the employee's manager. The manager can also set the duration of the leave and specify any additional conditions that must be met before the leave can be taken. Once approved, the employee will be able to take the leave and will be able to view their remaining leave balance in their personnel file. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When requesting Special Leave, it is important to provide as much detail as possible about why the leave is being requested and how long it will last. This will help ensure that the request is approved quickly and that the employee has enough time to take the leave.
