1) Overview
A leave request is required by most organisations for any form of planned leave or time away from work. A leave request contains important information regarding the period for the time away and is sent within the organisation for approval.
Depending on the policies of your organisation, you may be required to submit a leave request, subject to approval from a supervisor or manager βrefer to your organisation's policies (or immediate leader) for any applicable rules (and/or) lead times required.
NOTE:
The Easy Employer Support Team cannot assist employees in understanding to whom their leave application was sent, nor can the Easy Employer Support Team assist with providing comment when a leave application is declined (or approved). You will need to speak to your immediate leader.
If you are creating a leave request and the estimated hours are "0" then this means your standard daily hours have not been set in Easy Employer. Please speak to your employer to set these.
If you have standard daily hours set then the "0" balance may be caused by the leave shift being generated while an actual shift was already present. This would mean the standard daily hours are satisfied by the actual shift and the leave shift did not need to satisfy any of the standard daily hours.
There is an easier way to get the leave in for this situation. Click Manage on an automatically generated shift. You will have the option to 'Convert to leave' which will ensure that an issue like this does not occur in the future. Alternatively, the actual shift would need to be deleted before the leave shift is created.
