Requesting Leave

Employees can submit leave requests through the self-service interface.

Submitting a Request

Navigate to the leave overview page (HR > Leave, /hr/leave) and click Request Leave. The request form opens in a modal on the same page.
Fill in the request details:
- Leave type -- Select the type of leave (Vacation, Sick, Personal, Parental, Unpaid, or Other)
- Start date -- First day of the leave period
- End date -- Last day of the leave period (can be the same as start date for single-day requests)
- Start day / End day -- Choose Full day, Morning only, or Afternoon only for each boundary day
- Reason -- Optional description or notes for your manager
Submit the form.

The request is created with PENDING status and sent to your manager for review.

Selecting Dates

Single Day

Set the start and end date to the same day. Use the day selectors to request a full day or just a morning/afternoon.

Multiple Days

Select a date range. The first and last days can each have their own day half setting. For example, you can request leave starting on Monday afternoon and ending on Friday morning.

Checking Availability

The request form itself does not show a calendar, so check these before submitting:

Remaining balance -- The vacation balance card on the leave overview page shows your used and remaining days for the current year
Your existing leave -- The leave history table on the same page lists your pending and approved requests
Team availability -- The Team Agenda (/hr/team-agenda) shows which team members are off during the same period

After Submission

Once submitted, the request appears in your manager's approval queue. You can track the status of your request on the leave overview page.

Cancelling a Request

You can cancel a request while it is PENDING or after it has been APPROVED. In the leave history table on the leave overview page, click the cancel (X) icon on the request's row.

Cancelling an approved vacation request restores the deducted days to your balance.
