Ask for leave

Choose the type and the dates. The days are held from your balance straight away.

  • For:Everyone
  • Takes:2 minutes
  • On:phone or computer

Before you start

  • HR has marked you as joined. Leave opens after that.
  • If the leave needs a document, for example a medical certificate, it is already in My profile.

Ask for leave

  1. On Home, press Leave. Or press More, then Leave. Scroll down to Request leave.
  2. In Leave type, choose the type. Each one shows the days you have, for example Casual leave · 8.0 available.
  3. In From and To, enter the first and last day, as DD/MM/YYYY. For one day, enter the same date in both.
  4. In Duration, keep Full day or days, or choose First half of the day or Second half of the day for a half day.
The numbers match the steps.
  1. If you need a document, choose it in Supporting document. Otherwise leave it at None.
  2. In Reason (at least 8 characters), say why you need the leave.
  3. Press Show days counted. Check Taken from your balance and Balance after. Which days count depends on the leave type: Not counted (weekly off or holiday) shows the days left out.
  4. Press Send to Meera Joshi. The button names your manager, or says Send to HR if you have none.
The numbers match the steps.
  1. You see Request sent to Meera Joshi. Request sent for 2 days. Your balance from 18/11/2026 is 6 while it waits for a decision. The request is under Your requests as Waiting for approval.
  2. When it is decided, Home tells you Your leave was approved or Your leave was not approved, and the request shows the decision.

Tip

The days are held from your balance as soon as you send. They come back if the request is rejected or cancelled. Loss of Pay has no balance: it shows as unpaid. See Check your leave balance.

Watch out

A half day starts and ends on the same date. After Show days counted, read any note under the figures, such as A supporting document is needed for this many days.
