Not everyone asks for leave in My space. When someone calls in sick or asks you in person, book the leave for them so their balance and payroll stay right.

Steps

  1. Open the Leave tab. In HR Management, click Leave (or Book leave at the top, or on the employee's page). The Book leave form is on the right.

    Open the Leave tab
  2. Choose the employee and the type. Pick the person, then the Type, for example Sick leave.

    Employee and type
  3. Pick the dates. Choose From and To. The Working days are counted for you with weekends left out. For half a day, change it to 0.5.

    Pick the dates
  4. Add a reason and save. Keep Approve now ticked to approve it straight away, then click Save. The leave is listed and comes off the balance.

    Save it

Good to know

  • Untick Approve now to save it as a waiting request that someone else approves.
  • Owlvix stops you booking two leaves on the same day for one person.
  • Leave can't be booked before the employee's start date or after their leaving date.
