Use Case
This feature is used by all employees who need to book time off. It's the primary way for operatives, site staff, office staff, managers, and anyone else to request holidays, sick days, or other types of leave.
The process takes less than 30 seconds and eliminates the need for emails or paper forms. Employees can see their request status in real-time and receive updates when it's been approved or declined.
💡 Tips
Submit requests as early as possible, especially for busy periods like school holidays or Christmas
Check your remaining allowance before requesting to ensure you have enough days available
If you need to request time off for someone else (e.g., manager booking for their team), this needs to be done on the desktop
