Apply for leave from My Leaves
Planning time off? You can apply for leave straight from Me → My Leaves. Pick the leave type, choose your dates, give a reason and submit. Your request goes to your approver with a Pending status.
Before You Begin
Check your Leave Balances on My Leaves so you know how many days you have left for each leave type.
If the Leave Type dropdown is empty, no leave type has been set up for you yet. Leave types such as Annual and Sick are off for everyone until an admin enters the entitled days and switches on the applies-to-everyone toggle in Team → Leaves → Leave Policy. See Getting Started: Setting Up Your Account.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1 Navigate to Me → My Leaves and click Apply Leave.
- 2 Select a Leave Type from the dropdown, for example Annual.
- 3 Click Start Date and pick the first day of your leave from the calendar.
- 4 Click End Date and pick the last day of your leave.
- 5 For the start and end dates, choose Full Day or Half Day.
- 6 Check the Total Days and Leave Balance. Both are filled in automatically.
- 7 Enter a Leave Reason so your approver knows what the leave is for.
- 8 Attach a Supporting Document if your leave type needs one, such as a medical certificate.
- 9 Click Submit Leave Request.
After Submitting
Your request appears under Recent Requests on My Leaves with a Pending status, and it shows in Team → Leaves for your approver.
The days are taken off your Leave Balance as soon as you submit, while the request is still pending.
