Requesting leave

The self-service features integrate with the Payroll module to allow employees to request leave. Leave requests made in the self-service functions flow through to the Payroll module for processing; leave requests’ statuses are then reported back to the self-service features so employees can track the progress of their requests.

Employee leave balances

Employees can view their current leave balances on the Leave Balances screen (MPES3022):

Clicking one of the Leave Request links next to a leave type makes a new leave request for that type (see making leave requests).

The Projected Leave Balance screen (MPES4012) lets employees enter a future date to check how much leave they will have by then, so that they can plan their leave requests more easily:

Leave projections are based on the employee’s default Pay Group.

Employees can create a new leave request from this screen by clicking the New Leave Request toolbar button (see making leave requests).

Employee calendar

The Employee Calendar screen shows a calendar month, with any leave requests made by the employee highlighted. Hovering the mouse over a leave request shows additional details in a popup.

Employees can double-click on a day to request leave on that day, or click and drag across a range of days to request leave for the range. See making leave requests for more information on the process of making and submitting leave requests.

Making leave requests

Employees can make a new leave request using the Submit a Leave Request screen (MPES3020). Managers can also use this screen to make leave requests for the employees they manage. The screen can be accessed in several ways:

The screenshot above shows the Submit a Leave Request screen as it appears for Australian companies. For NZ companies, the Units Requested field is replaced by separate Hours , Days and Weeks Requested fields.

Using this screen, a user (employee or manager) can enter all of the details for the leave request, including the leave type, and leave start and end dates. The user can also attach documents to the request (this may be required, depending on the leave type’s configuration—see Setting up leave types).

Once the user clicks Submit, the request is submitted for approval, as per the Approval Map specified for leave requests (see Self service preferences). If the user is an employee, an email notification is sent to their manager as soon as the request is submitted.

If no approval map has been specified (see Leave request approval map), the request is approved automatically as soon as it is submitted.
