Employee Self-Service
Request and cancel leave
For employees: check your leave balances, request full or half days, and cancel a request that hasn’t been decided yet.

Each leave type shows the days you have available, how many you’ve taken out of your total, and whether unused days carry over to next year.
Request leave
Click Request Leave on My Leaves or your Dashboard.
Choose the Leave Type — each shows the days you have available.
Choose the From Date and To Date. Dates start from today.
For a half day, set Day Type to Half Day — Morning or Half Day — Afternoon (if your leave type allows half days).
Optionally add a Reason to help your approver.
Click Submit Request. The preview is an estimate — the final number of days is worked out when you submit.
Your request goes to your reporting manager automatically and shows as Pending Manager until it’s decided.
What the status means
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending Manager | Waiting for a decision. You can still cancel it. |
| Approved | All days approved. |
| Partially Approved | Some days approved, some declined. |
| Rejected | Not approved. No days were used. |
| Cancelled | Withdrawn. Any days were returned to your balance. |
Cancel a request
In Leave History, click Cancel on a request that’s still Pending Manager. The days return to your balance straight away. To cancel leave that’s already approved, ask your manager or HR.
If your request isn’t accepted
| Message | What it means |
|---|---|
| “Available balance (X) is less than the Y day(s) applied for” | You don’t have enough leave of this type, counting requests still pending. |
| “Leave already applied for selected dates” | You already have leave on one of these dates. |
| “The selected dates are all week-offs or holidays” | There are no working days in the dates you picked. |
| “This leave type needs N day(s) notice” | Apply further in advance. |
| “Half day leave not allowed” | This leave type is full days only. |
| “You have already punched in” | You can’t take a full day for today after punching in — request a half day instead. |
