Objective: create a test campaign for an ERP that manages the leave requests of a company’s employees.
Subject: Employees must submit their Leave Requests to the HR department through the ERP.
Company’s employees have 2 employment contract types: short-term contract or long-term contract.
When submitting their Leave Request, employees must state the leave type to be chosen between « unpaid leave » or « paid leave ».
The request for leave, to be valid, must be made on time. If the notice period is not met, the request for leave is automatically refused. The HR department can accept or reject the employee's request for leave on grounds related to the characteristics of the leave.
Particular case: short-term contract employees cannot have unpaid leaves

When creating an issue Yest Workflow, the Yest for Jira app adds an attachment named workflow.yest. This attachment stores the content of the Yest workflow. Thus, the modification of the Yest workflow requires the replacement of this attachment. For this reason, please do not delete this attachment. |
