Before you start​

Check your balance in Leave balance. The apply form also shows your Balance and Approval pending days for each leave type.

Steps​

    • Managers applying for a team member: use Apply for subordinate and choose the Employee.
  2. Choose the Leave type. Only types available in your leave group are listed.
  3. Choose the date:
    • For one day, pick the date and whether it's a full day, the first half or the second half.
    • For more than one day, turn on Applying for multiple days and pick the From date and To date. The first day can be a full day or the second half. The last day can be a full day or the first half.
  4. Choose a Reason, and add an Additional reason if asked.
  5. If the request qualifies for Leave Travel Allowance, tick LTA applicable.
  6. If a document is required, select Upload file. PDF, DOCX, JPG, JPEG, PNG and XLSX files up to 5 MB are accepted.
  7. Select Apply.

Result​

You see "Leave request applied successfully". The request appears in My leave requests as pending, and its days show under Approval pending in your balance. Select Workflow on the request to see who it's waiting with.

If the request can't be submitted, the message tells you why. See Leave request messages.

How days are counted​

Week offs and holidays inside the request may or may not count as leave, depending on your organization's rules for the leave type. If your request is next to another leave request with a weekend or holiday in between, you may be asked to include those days.

Cancel a request​

In My leave requests, select Cancel request on the request. A cancelled request returns the days to your balance.

You can't cancel leave in a period that's locked for payroll processing. Ask your payroll team.
