8.4.3 Submit a Leave Request
Fill in the leave request form exactly as it appears on screen so HR can approve it without returning it for correction.
Open the ESS menu, then select Leave Requests. Select New Leave Request. Complete the form: Leave Type as shown in the drop-down list Start Date End Date Reason if your organization asks for approval notes Exclude Weekends if your policy counts only working days Select Submit.
PLATFORM WARNING: The system validates date ranges. End date must be on or after start date. If your organization enforces notice periods or documentation (e.g., medical certificates), HR may reject incomplete submissions.
