If your company uses Sage HR's Leave Management module you can request time off such as annual leave.

📎NOTE: You can only book time off for yourself if:

  • Your company uses the Leave Management module

  • You're assigned to at least one time off policy

  • You've been given permission to add time off yourself

📌TIP: You can also request time off on the Sage HR mobile app.

Request time off

  1. Click Quick actions in the top right, then click New time off. A time off form appears.

  2. Select the appropriate time off policy.

    📎NOTE: Only time off policies you've been assigned to, or you have access to request off, appear in this dropdown. If you don't see the one you're looking for, contact your HR admin.

  3. Enter the dates of the time off.

    📎NOTE: You can request a single day or multiple dates. Depending on settings you can have options to specify what part of a single day.

  4. If required, enter any details.

  5. If required, select a replacement person.

  6. To complete the request, click Submit.
    ​

If your time off request needs to wait for approval, you must wait for your time off approver to approve it.

Your pending time off shows on your dashboard under Upcoming time off, and in your calendar. You can edit or cancel your request in both areas if you have permission to do so.
