Apply for Leave and Approve or Reject It
Submit a leave request with a date range and reason, then have it approved, rejected with a reason, or cancelled.
For School administrators, Staff, Teachers. Updated 2026-08-01.
Overview
A leave application needs a leave type, start date, end date, and reason. Days are counted as calendar days between the dates, not working days. A staff member cannot submit an application that overlaps another pending or approved application they already have. Only pending applications can be approved, rejected (with a required reason), or cancelled.
Before you start
- A leave type must exist and be active
Steps
- Open Leave Manager > Applications and select Apply for leave
- Choose the leave type, start date, end date, and reason
- Submit
- A reviewer selects Approve, or opens Reject and enters a reason
Common problems
The application is rejected as overlapping
The staff member already has a pending or approved application covering some of these dates; check existing applications before resubmitting.
Approve or reject fails
Only applications still in Pending status can be approved or rejected; the status may have already changed.
