What is leave?
If your company is using the Pro or Pro+ package in Workfeed, you'll be able to request leave from the app. Leave can be a holiday, sickness, or other things.
It's different from availability by being approved time off, whereas availability requests are preferences for the upcoming schedule.
How to request leave
To open your leave overview, click on the palm icon on your home page.
Here, you'll be able to filter any period and leave type and see exactly how much approved leave you have throughout the period. A leave request needs to be approved by an administrator or manager to be official.
To make a new leave request, simply click the blue plus icon.
When completing your leave request, you can define the period of your request and the leave type. There are three default leave types: Holiday, sickness and compensatory time (compensatory time is a part of the Pro+ package). There also might be customized leave types, depending on your workplace.
Once you have defined the period and type, you can write a note that explains your leave request prior to getting it approved.
Once your leave request is approved, you'll see the leave in your leave overview. If you have any shifts in the period of the leave, they'll be marked with an emoji equivalent to the leave type.
FAQ
Are shifts that overlap leave paid or unpaid?
Whether or not shifts that overlap leave are paid or unpaid depends on what your administrator or manager has decided, as well as what you agreed upon. You can, at any time, click on a shift to see how much pay you earn from it.
Can I see how many leave days I've saved up so far?
At the moment, you can't see have many leave days you've saved up in Workfeed. It's typically shown on your payslip from your workplace's payroll provider. However, we're planning on adding this feature to the app.
Can I cancel a leave request?
Yes, you can cancel a leave request by deleting it. Go to your leave overview by tapping the palm icon on your home screen, then tap your leave request and finally press the 'Delete' button. Please note that you cannot delete a request that has already been approved. Contact your administrator/manager if you need an approved leave request removed.
