Ask for leave
See how many days of each kind of leave you have left, ask for leave, and follow the decision.
My Leave shows your leave and lets you ask for more.
At the top, a card for each kind of leave shows how many days you have left, out of how many you get in a year, and how many you have taken, for example "Annual leave: 28 left of 28 · 0 taken". Leave with no fixed limit shows how many days you have taken. Below, My requests lists every request you have made, with its Type, Dates, Days, Status and a Note from whoever decided.
Ask for leave
-
Click Ask for leave.
-
Choose the Leave type, the First day and the Last day, and write a Reason if you wish.
-
Click Send request. You see "Request sent". The school's administrators receive it as Pending.
Leave is counted in working days: Monday to Friday, without the days the school is closed. A request is refused if it overlaps other leave of yours ("Already on leave from … to …") or has no working days in it.
Follow the decision
The Status of a request changes to Approved or Rejected when the office decides, and their note is shown. Only approved leave is taken from your balance. You can withdraw a request that has not been decided, using Withdraw on its row.
