You can book time off yourself from the Leave & availability page. A request goes to your manager as pending and they approve or decline it.
Make a request
Click Request leave to open the form. Fill in the details, then click Request leave again to submit.
Leave type — choose from the list (e.g. Annual leave, Sick, Unpaid leave, TOIL, Maternity / Paternity, Compassionate, Other). Your organisation may have its own set.
From and To — the first and last day of your leave. The end day is included.
Part of day — only shown when From and To are the same day. Pick Full day, Morning (09:00–13:00) or Afternoon (13:00–17:00).
Hours (optional — counts towards allowance) — leave blank to let the system work it out, or type a figure. A half day is treated as about 4 hours.
Reason (optional) — a short note for your manager.
After you submit
Your request appears under My leave with a pending label. When your manager decides, the label changes to approved or rejected, and any reply they leave shows underneath. While a request is pending or approved, a Cancel button lets you withdraw it.
If your chosen dates clash with leave you have already requested, or fall inside a blackout period set by an admin, the request is blocked and you'll see a message explaining why.
