Steps
- Open People and choose the person.
- Go to their Time off tab and choose Book time off for and their first name, for example Book time off for Sam.
- Choose the leave type and the dates. You can go back to the start of the previous leave year, but not before their employment start date.
- Choose Book time off.
Change their allowance
To give someone more or less allowance, for example days carried over from your old system, choose Change allowance on the same Time off tab.
What happens next
It's approved by you straight away, shows in Who's away and comes off their allowance. They get a notification if they have a login, and so does their manager.
If something goes wrong
You don't see the Book time off for button. Booking for someone else needs an HR Admin or System Admin role. Managers approve their team's requests instead.
The leave is from before the previous leave year. HollyHR can't book it that far back. If it still affects this year's balance, choose Change allowance on their Time off tab and say why.
