How is the efficiency score calculated?
The efficiency score is the ratio of total consecutive days off to leave days spent. A score of 4:1 means you get 4 days off for every 1 day of leave used. Higher scores represent better value. A score of ∞:1 means you get days off without using any leave at all (natural long weekends).
