They are grouped into tabs:     | Tab | What It Shows | | --- | --- | | **Approved** | Leave requests that have been approved | | **Pending** | Requests waiting for manager approval | | **History** | All past leave requests |       --- **Applying for Leave** - Tap the **+ Apply for Leave** button. - Fill in the required details (see below). - Tap **Submit** to send the request to your manager. ### **Selecting a Leave Type** - Choose from the available leave types, such as: - **Annual Leave** - **Sick Leave** - **Holiday** - **Parental Leave** - And any custom types your company has configured. ### **Choosing Dates and Duration** - Select the **start date** and **end date** for your leave. - Choose the duration format: - **Hours** — for partial-day leave - **Days** — for full-day leave - **Weeks** — for extended leave ### **Checking Your Leave Balance** - Your current balance for each leave type is shown on the leave form. - This helps you confirm you have enough leave available before applying. ### **Adding Comments and Attachments** - Use the **comments** field to add a note for your manager. - Tap **Attach** to upload a supporting document (e.g. a medical certificate). ### **Insufficient Leave Balance Warning** - If the leave type has **Warn on Insufficient Balance** turned on and your requested leave exceeds your available balance, a **warning** is displayed. - You can still submit the request — your manager can approve it with an override if appropriate. - If the leave type has the balance warning turned off, your request goes through without a warning. --- **Cancelling a Leave Request** - Open the leave request from the **Pending** or **Approved** tab. - Tap **Cancel Request**. - The request is withdrawn and your balance is restored. --- **Approving or Declining Leave (Managers)** If you are a manager: - Open the **Pending** tab to see requests from your team. - Tap a request to review the details. - Tap **Approve** or **Decline**. - If the employee has insufficient leave, you can choose to **override** the balance restriction. --- **Blockout Dates / Availability** Blockout dates let you tell your manager when you are unavailable to work. ### **Adding a Blockout Date (Employees)** - Go to the **Blockout** section within the Leave tab. - Tap the **+** button. - If you also have leave access, a chooser appears — select **Add Block Out Dates**. - Select the **date(s)** you are unavailable. - Tap **Save**. ### **Adding a Blockout Date (Managers)** Managers (Company Admins and Sub-Admins) can also add blockout dates for themselves directly from the Leave tab. - Open the **Leave** tab. - Tap the **+** button. - Select **Add Block Out Dates** from the chooser. - Fill in the date(s) you are unavailable. - Tap **Save**. The blockout is saved to your own employee record, letting your team know when you are unavailable. ### **Repeating Blockout Rules** - For recurring unavailability, enable **Repeat**. - Choose a frequency (e.g. every week on Monday). - The blockout will automatically apply to future dates. ### **Editing and Deleting Blockout Dates** - Tap an existing blockout to **edit** the dates or details. - Tap **Delete** to remove a blockout entirely. - **Note:** Edit and delete are available to employees only. Managers can create blockout dates but cannot edit or delete them from the mobile app. --- **Good to Know** - When you tap the **+** button and have access to both leave and availability, a chooser appears with **Apply For Leave** and **Add Block Out Dates** options. - If only one feature is available, tapping **+** opens that wizard directly. - [Account & Security](https://help.jointimecloud.com/account-security?hsLang=en) - [Attendance & Timesheets](https://help.jointimecloud.com/attendance-timesheets?hsLang=en) - [Award Interpretation](https://help.jointimecloud.com/award-interpretation?hsLang=en) - [Biometric Scanners](https://help.jointimecloud.com/biometric-scanners?hsLang=en) - [Employees](https://help.jointimecloud.com/employees?hsLang=en) - [Forms & Checklists](https://help.jointimecloud.com/forms-checklists?hsLang=en) - [Geofencing](https://help.jointimecloud.com/geofencing?hsLang=en) - [Human Resources](https://help.jointimecloud.com/human-resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Organisation View](https://help.jointimecloud.com/human-resources?hsLang=en#organisation-view) - [Integrations](https://help.jointimecloud.com/integrations?hsLang=en) - [Job Tracking](https://help.jointimecloud.com/job-tracking?hsLang=en) - [Leave Management](https://help.jointimecloud.com/leave-management?hsLang=en) - [Mobile App](https://help.jointimecloud.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Kiosk](https://help.jointimecloud.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en#kiosk) - [Mobile App](https://help.jointimecloud.com/mobile-app?hsLang=en#mobile-app) - [Payroll](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Xero](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#xero) - [iPayroll](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#ipayroll) - [MYOB](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#myob) - [Smartly](https://help.jointimecloud.com/payroll?hsLang=en#smartly) - [Reporting](https://help.jointimecloud.com/reporting?hsLang=en) - [Roster](https://help.jointimecloud.com/roster?hsLang=en) - [Settings](https://help.jointimecloud.com/settings?hsLang=en) - [Shifts](https://help.jointimecloud.com/shifts?hsLang=en) - [Time Clock](https://help.jointimecloud.com/time-clock?hsLang=en) - [Dashboard](https://help.jointimecloud.com/dashboard?hsLang=en) Service Desk Copyright © 2025, Timecloud Ltd
