How to Request a Leave

Requesting Leave

When initiating a leave request, please provide the following information:

• Leave Type: Specify the category of leave (e.g., Vacation, Sick Leave).
• Leave Duration: Choose from the following options:
  • One Day
  • Half-Day (AM or PM)
  • Multiple Days
  • Specific Hours (if hourly tracking is enabled)
• Start Date: Indicate the commencement date of your leave.
• End Date: If applying for multiple days, specify the concluding date.
• Start and End Time: For hourly leaves, define the exact start and end times.
• Public Note to Colleagues (Optional): Add any pertinent information; this note will be visible to all users.
• Private Note to Approvers (Optional): Include any private context for approvers; this note is not visible to other team members.
• Substitute (Optional): Name a colleague who will be covering for you during your absence.

Upon submission, Spock will notify the designated approvers if the selected leave type requires approval. For details on the approval process, refer to our Managing Approvals guide. If approval is not required, your leave will be auto-approved.
