As an Indigo user you can apply for leave using the Indigo Mobile app or the Out of Office widget on your Employee Portal dashboard. To see how to proceed on the Out of Office widget just keep reading this article 😉
How to Apply for Leave
1. Click the Apply button in the Out of Office widget.
2. The Apply For Leave window will pop up displaying a weekly calendar according to the dates selected in the From and To fields. The screen will update with the selected date range automatically.
3. To apply for leave, click on the plus ➕ icon on the top right section of the desired day.
4. By doing so, the Apply For Leave form is shown. Below the image, a short description of each field.
Applicant: It shows your full name, thus it informs you that the Leave will be applied under your name.
Date From: Date from which your current leave request starts.
Date To: The last date of your current leave request. If you are applying for 1 day, this should be the same as your 'Date from'.
You can apply for leave by Leave Group or Leave Type
Leave Group*: If applying for leave as a group, select the leave group you are applying for. (e.g. Vacation)
Leave Type: If applying for leave as a type, select the leave type you are applying for. Available types depend on the types supported by the company. (e.g. VAC21)
Leave Hour Schedule: This field only and shows the leave schedule assigned to you and it is greyed out.
Leave Hour Schedule Detail: Select from the available leave hour schedules. (e.g. Full Day, Morning etc.)
🗒️ Note: *Leave Groups are a grouping method for similar types of leave that make it easier to apply for leave. As an example, Leave Groups can group together this year's Vacation Leave along with any vacation leave carried forward from last year, ensuring that the one that expires first is used first. Leave groups and types are configured by your company according to internal policies and procedures.
5. Enter any Reference numbers and/or Remarks and click Submit to send your leave request to your approver.
🤔 Remember: If you apply for a leave type whose the pay rate is 0.99 or less, a warning message will be displayed to the user. The user will then have the option to either proceed by clicking Yes or cancel by clicking No.
This popup can appear in both the Applying for Leave widget as well as the Leave Request Audit.
