Employees request time off from the portal. Open Time off. The subtitle is Request leave, or tell HR you were on duty or working from home. Stay on Leave. Attendance is a separate tab for work-from-home and on-duty notes.

Send the request

1. Under Balances, check the days left for the type you want. An unlimited type shows Unlimited. If a request is already waiting, you also see pending and projected days. The page says pending requests are not taken off your balance until they are approved.
2. Choose a Leave type. The placeholder is Choose a leave type.
3. Choose a From date and a To date.
4. Turn on Half day when the first day should count as half. The helper says Counts as 0.5 on the From date.
5. Add a Reason if you want.
6. Read the line that says how many working days the request uses, and how many days would be left if it is approved.
7. Choose Request time off.

You should see Leave application submitted. The request appears under Your requests with the dates, the type, the number of days, and a status of Pending.

An empty request list says No time-off requests yet and Time off you request will appear here with its status.

Who's out lists other people on your team who are out in the next two weeks. See See who is out.

If something looks wrong

Request time off stays off until a leave type and a From date are filled in. The caption tells you which one is missing:

• Choose a leave type and From date to send a request.
• Choose a leave type to send a request.
• Choose a From date to send a request.

A warning on the form also keeps the button off. Common messages:

• No leave balance yet. Ask HR to allocate leave before you request time off.
• No leave types available.
• This leave period overlaps with an existing application.
• This request has no working days.
• Backdated leave requests are not allowed.
• Insufficient leave balance, including the days still available after pending requests.
• Leave cannot be applied on blocked dates.
• This leave type is not included in the employee's assigned policy.
• Ask HR to assign your manager or leave approver before requesting time off.
• This request is longer than the protected hours still available.

If the request still does not send, the notice is Failed to apply leave. Nothing is added under Your requests.
