# Yearly leave limit for compensatory off

### Yearly Cap on Compensatory Leave

A new control is added in **Leave Configuration** for **Compensatory Off (Comp-Off)**. It lets admins set the maximum number of Comp-Off leaves an employee can take in a year.

* A setting defines: *“Maximum \[x] leaves of this type allowed in a year.”*
* Example: If set to 5, employees can apply for only 5 Comp-Off leaves in that financial year.
* Once the limit is reached, the system blocks further requests and shows: *“Leave limit is exceeded. Allowed yearly limit is: 5.”*
* This check happens in real time while submitting leave requests.
