Leave refers to a period of time when an employee is granted permission to be absent from work for various reasons, such as vacation, illness, personal matters, or other approved circumstances.

  1. From the greytHR ESS portal navigate to click Leave > Leave Apply.

  3. Select From date and To date from the dropdown calendars and select their respective Sessions from the dropdown list.
    Note: After you select the dates and sessions, the system displays the number of days for which you have applied for leave. 
  4. The Applying to search box automatically displays your reporting manager. You can also enter the name to search for the person manually in the search box.
