Short answer

Open HR and Payroll → Leave. Choose the Employee and Leave Type, pick the From Date and To Date and click Submit Request. The request appears under Latest Requests as Pending, where a manager can Approve or Reject it.

Leave requests are recorded and approved in one place, so you always know who is away and how much leave each person has taken.

Record a request

  1. Open HR and Payroll → Leave.
  2. Under Create Leave Request, choose the Employee and the Leave Type: Annual, Sick, Maternity, Paternity, Compassionate, Study or Unpaid Leave.
  3. Pick the From Date and To Date, add a Reason if you like, and click Submit Request.

To add your own leave type, change how many days a year one allows, or stop offering one, open HR and Payroll → Departments & Roles and use Leave Types. Add the standard leave types puts back any of the seven defaults you do not have.

Approve or reject it

The request appears under Latest Requests as Pending, with the number of days. Click Approve or Reject. Cancel withdraws it.
