A month's leave? or a month leave?
In the sentence:
"The boss granted Jane a month leave".
(I am basing this on a "could-be" substitute, "3-day leave") But then, it seems that "a month's leave" sounds better, though it implies not really a full-month leave but just the month's (belonging to that particular month).
Which is right?
