Add a flag when certain conditions are met

Question

I have a table where when an employee works LEAVE1 and LEAVE2 paycodes on the same day then in the new column called 'FLAG' we need to put a 1 for LEAVE1 and a 2 for LEAVE2, when these paycodes are not there on the same day then flag will be NULL as for other paycodes.

Tried using the CASE statements but it always puts a 1 or 2 for the respective paycodes regardless of the fact whether they were together on the same day or not.

Thank you and really appreciate all the help I get from this wonderful group.

Sample Table

WITH SampleData
    (PERSON,TRANSACTDATE, STARTDATE, END_DATE, IN_PUNCH,OUT_PUNCH,HOURS, PAYCODE) 
AS
(
    SELECT 1234,'08/03/2015','08/03/2015','08/03/2015', '06:00','09:00','3', 'REG1'

    SELECT 1234,'08/03/2015','08/03/2015','08/03/2015', '09:00','13:00','4','REG2' 
    UNION ALL  
    SELECT 1234,'08/04/2015','08/04/2015','08/04/2015', '09:00','13:00','4','LEAVE1'

Thank you for the quick help. Unfortunately. it's a 2008 server and I'm not familiar with OUTER APPLY. Can a solution be posted without the OUTER APPLY?

There are any number of ways to express this in T-SQL. One that works (without using APPLY - which you should learn to love, by the way) is below, with comments inline:

WITH SampleData
    (PERSON,TRANSACTDATE, STARTDATE, END_DATE, IN_PUNCH,OUT_PUNCH,HOURS, PAYCODE) 
AS

    SELECT 1234,'08/03/2015','08/03/2015','08/03/2015', '06:00','09:00','3', 'REG1' 
    UNION ALL 
    SELECT 1234,'08/03/2015','08/03/2015','08/03/2015', '09:00','13:00','4','REG2' 
    UNION ALL  
    SELECT 1234,'08/04/2015','08/04/2015','08/04/2015', '09:00','13:00','4','LEAVE1' 
    UNION ALL

)
SELECT
    SD.PERSON, 
    SD.TRANSACTDATE, 
    SD.STARTDATE, 
    SD.END_DATE, 
    MIN(SD.IN_PUNCH) OVER (
        PARTITION BY SD.PERSON,SD.TRANSACTDATE) AS IN_PUNCH,
    MAX(SD.OUT_PUNCH) OVER (
        PARTITION BY SD.PERSON, SD.TRANSACTDATE) AS OUT_PUNCH,

    -- FLAG COLUMN
    CASE
        WHEN

            -- for the same person and date
            SELECT COUNT_BIG(DISTINCT SD2.PAYCODE)
            FROM SampleData AS SD2
            WHERE SD2.PERSON = SD.PERSON
            AND SD2.TRANSACTDATE = SD.TRANSACTDATE
            AND SD2.PAYCODE IN ('LEAVE1', 'LEAVE2')
        )
        = 2 --Both LEAVE1 and LEAVE2 are present
        THEN
            -- Decode current paycode
            CASE SD.PAYCODE
                WHEN 'LEAVE1' THEN 1
                WHEN 'LEAVE2' THEN 2
