What is Annual Leave?

Paid time off from work granted to employees on a yearly basis, either by statute, employment contract, or company policy, allowing workers to rest and recharge without losing income.

Why it matters in hiring

Annual Leave comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
