Apply for leave as an employee and contractor

Applying for leave is essential for managing time off and ensuring that both employees and their organisation can maintain productivity as well as transparency about both their work and personal schedules.

This article explains the process for employees, followed by the process for contractors, that is needed to use the Leave feature to create and submit leave requests in the HR platform.

    Tip: You can request future leave and view your accrued leave balance, even if you are yet to accumulate enough leave. This is as the platform will treat the request as projected leave. However, note that it does not include any pending leave requests in its calculation.

  5. Click the Submit button.

    Note: Employees can submit half-day leave requests, in addition to full-day and multiple-day leave requests. The hours taken will be 50% of their standard work hours.
