How to request a weeks leave/multi-day leave period:

If you need to request a full weeks holiday, it is important to ensure that the hrs you request, tally up to your contracted hrs for that week, so you don’t use up more additional hrs of your holiday allowance. 

Use the type dropdown picker to choose what leave type you are requesting.

On the days you would typically work, choosing a leave type of ‘holiday’, will deduct those hrs from your remaining balance. Ensure the hrs you request as a holiday, tally up with your contracted weekly hrs.

On the days you would not typically work or that would be over your contracted hrs, these days should be requested as a non-deductible leave type so you do not lose hrs from your remaining balance. For these days, you would choose a holiday type of ‘not working’ to let your employer know you are still unavailable to work on those days.

Once you have finished adding and editing your leave entries, click the ‘create entries’ button to send your leave requests to your manager.
