Watch how to apply for leave, check real-time approval status, and manage leave balances in HRism.

How It Works

Employees submit a leave request specifying dates and leave type. HRism automatically checks policy entitlement balances, routes the request to their reporting manager's approval inbox, and updates balances upon decision.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Open Leave Portal

Access Leave Management from the main navigation menu or your dashboard summary card.

Step 2

Select Leave Category

Choose between Annual Paid Leave, Sick Leave, Casual Leave, or Unpaid Leave.

Step 3

Specify Start & End Dates

Use the calendar picker to select your leave dates, specifying full-day or half-day options.

Step 4

Add Reason & Notes

Include a brief note for your reporting manager explaining the time off request.

Step 5

Track Approval Status

Monitor your application status (Pending, Approved, Rejected) in real time.

Important Information

Pending Balance

Pending leave requests reserve entitlement count but do not finalize deduction until manager approval.

Public Holidays

System-configured public holidays occurring within your date range are automatically excluded from leave deductions.

Advance Notice

Planned annual leaves should be submitted at least 5 working days in advance as per HR policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your remaining balances for all leave categories are displayed dynamically at the top of the Leave Management page.
