The Request Leave of Absence form is used when an employee requests a leave of absence. It’s used to save when the leave starts, the reason for the leave, and the estimated return date.
Important: If the Prevent Employee Termination if Future Timesheet Entries Exist checkbox is selected in System Admin > Client Properties, you can't submit the form to set the employee’s status to inactive if they have future timesheet entries.
Employees can submit two requests if the leave of absence periods occur with no gaps between the end date of the first request and the start date of the second request. Dayforce restricts form submission if the periods have a one-day (or greater) gap between the end date of the first request and the start date of the second request.
The fields shown in the Request Leave of Absence form vary depending on which country the employee resides in and which reason is selected.
Submitted and processed forms update the value of the Employment Status field in the employee’s records in the Employment > Employment Settings screen of People, effective on the specified start date.
