How an employee submits a leave request

Scope note

Leave request actions depend on role permissions and your organization's approval workflow.

Why this matters

Accurate leave requests help managers plan earlier, reduce last-minute surprises, and improve schedule reliability.

Before you start

Make sure the employee knows:

  • the dates involved
  • the type of leave if applicable
  • any notes that should be shared with the organization

Steps

  1. Open the leave request area.
  2. Create a new leave request.
  3. Select the relevant dates or period.
  4. Add the necessary details.
  5. Submit the request.

What happens next

Once submitted, the request can be reviewed by the appropriate admin or subadmin before it affects planning decisions.

Tips

  • Submit leave requests as early as possible.
  • Double-check the selected dates before sending.
  • Add useful notes when clarification may be needed.

Troubleshooting

The leave request is missing information

Review whether the employee selected the right dates and completed the required fields.

Planning still shows availability

Check whether the leave request is still pending or has not yet been approved.
