Below you will find the steps on how to request holiday:

Step 1

First go to My Account > My Availability >  Request Holiday. The screen will now ask for broad information about the request; is it less than a day, a single day or a longer period. To implement this you just need to go to your availability and put in a new holiday request.

This allows the system to then offer further options specific to the dates requested so that part day and half day requests are much easier to enter.

Another updated feature is that when requesting to take part of a day off, you can specify whether this will be the morning or the afternoon. This adjustment will make absences that much easier to keep track of, ensuring the smooth running of your business regardless of absence.
The process will take into account the staff member’s specific contract configuration and offer options relevant. For example, a staff member who is only allowed to book half or whole days will have options limited to those choices.
