How to Request Time Off for a Partial Day

Now that you've learned how to Submit a New Leave Request in your own Employee Portal, you may need to know how to submit for a partial day off or a half-day off.

Start by logging into your Employee Portal and clicking on Time Off & Leave in the Navigation Menu. Then selecting the 'Requests' page from the dropdown options.

You can also click on the Request Time-Off button in the Shortcuts menu on your Dashboard.

Now take a special look at the Duration area. By default, this may auto-populate into full-day increments, but you CAN change this number to request a partial day off work.

To submit a partial or half-day off, or even a few hours at a time, click on the Calculator icon to the right of the Duration section.

The Calculator icon will open up a separate window that allows you to “Specify Duration” or to request time off in exact hours (even minutes!) instead of a full day. This makes it easy to request partial days or half days. Please remember that your Admin User will still have the ability to edit your request based on your own organisation’s leave policy and guidelines. 

Once you click on Save at the bottom, the Duration will again automatically calculate the estimated time in a decimal point format to the equivalent days or hours based on what you have requested.
