# Request limits

A request limit is the number of days of a given absence type an employee can use during the year. Thanks to limits the system keeps track of the pool itself — it will not allow a request beyond the available days and shows on an ongoing basis how many are left. Limits work at two levels: global (the whole organisation) and individual (a single employee).

# Limited and unlimited requests

* **Limited** — they have a set pool of days (for example annual leave — 26 days). Once it is used up you cannot submit another request of that type.
* **Unlimited** — with no upper bound (for example sick leave, a business trip).

# The global limit — the whole organisation

The pool for each request type is set by the **Organisation Administrator** when creating it, under **Company settings → "Requests"**. The **"Limited"** and **"Annual pool"** columns show which requests have a limit and how many days it covers.

# The individual limit — an employee

You can override the global pool for a particular person — for example when an employee has leave carried over from the previous year. You set it on the employee profile, on the **"Requests"** tab.
