Using the Request Leave Form

When you request leave using any of the approaches mentioned above, you will be shown a New Leave form as shown below.

Choose the Leave type, there are different options in here such as Annual Leave, Sick Leave and Study Leave, as configured by your company. 

Mark the leave as private to hide the leave type from other employees.

Add comments for your approver and attach any relevant files.

To change the dates for your leave, click in the Dates box, and select the From and To dates of your leave.

Click once to select the From date and click again to select the To date. If both dates are the same then click the same date twice.

When you have selected the correct range, click the Apply button.

If you need to request leave which crosses multiple months then you can do this using this date picker.

Adjusting your leave dates

On the right side of the form, you will see the dates you are requesting listed. This allows you to fine-tune the request, for example, to change a full day to a half day or adjust the number of hours.

To modify a particular day, click on the blue dropdown and select one of the following options:

• All day
• Half day - Morning
• Half day - Afternoon
• Other

The 'Other' option allows you to specify the amount and start time of your request.

Not all these options are shown if the employee only works part-time, has some leave already booked or is requesting over a non-working day.

Employees with hourly allowances will always need to enter the number of hours they are requesting.

To modify the start time you can simply click in the box and select the time from the clock picker.

The end time of a request is automatically calculated based on the amount being requested, the start time and any lunch periods which have been set up by your administrator.

It is also possible for admin users and approvers to request leave for other people or book for multiple people.
