The Leave tab is your balances and your requests.

Leave home

A tile per leave type, showing what you have left against your entitlement for the financial year. Types with no balance to spend — Loss of Pay — are shown for completeness.
Approved leave still to come.
Your recent requests with their current stage — pending with your manager, pending with HR, approved, or rejected.

Applying

1

Tap Apply

From leave home.
2

Choose type, dates and duration

Full day, first half or second half. Half-day options only appear for types that allow them.
3

Read the quote

Before you submit, OnTime tells you:
  • Working days the request actually consumes — weekly offs and holidays in the range are excluded and cost you nothing.
  • Balance after the request.
  • A warning if the request exceeds your balance.
  • A warning if it overlaps leave you already have.
  • Whether the type needs an HR approval after your manager’s.

Add a reason and a backup

The reason goes to your approver. The backup contact is who covers your work — OnTime suggests colleagues who are not themselves off on those dates.
5

Submit

It goes to your direct manager.
An insufficient balance does not stop you submitting. Your approver decides — the usual outcome is that the excess becomes Loss of Pay. Talk to them before submitting rather than after.

Tracking a request

Open any request to see its current stage, the approval chain that applies to it, and any note your approver left. You are notified when a decision lands.

After approval

The covered dates appear on your history calendar as Leave — or Half for a half-day — and your balance is debited. Both happen at the moment of the final approval.
There is no cancel-a-request action. If your plans change after approval, speak to your manager — reversing approved leave is an administrator action.

Comp-off

If your organization credits compensatory leave, it appears as an ordinary balance tile. It is credited when overtime you worked on a holiday or your weekly off is approved — not on a schedule. See Overtime.
