My Leave and your requests

My Leave is everything you’ve booked, with what’s coming up first and drawn largest.

What’s on the page

• Your figures at the top: Annual Leave used, pending requests, the countdown to your next leave and the days since your last break. See Your dashboard.
• Pending Requests, still waiting for a decision. Each has Cancel until its first day, and Edit until then too if your organisation lets you change a pending request.
• Upcoming leave: anything under way now under On Leave, then This month, then month by month. Company closures sit among your own leave, so you can see the time off you didn’t have to book. Company events do too.
• Past leave, in a lighter list underneath.

Leave that was cancelled or not approved stays in its month, struck through.

Countdowns

From ten working days before, a booking counts down: “Off in 5 days”, “Off tomorrow”, “Off today”. While you’re away it shows “Back in 3 days” or “Back tomorrow” instead.

The My Leave link in the menu shows a dot when one of your requests has been approved, rejected or cancelled. It clears when you open the page.

Opening a request

Tap any row to open its Leave request window. It shows:

• the dates, how many days it costs, and when you requested it
• Others out: for each day, how many team members are on leave or not working, like “2 on leave, 1 not working”. It’s counts only, never names or kinds of leave, and only among the team members your organisation lets you see. If nobody’s off, it says “Everyone else is in on these days.”
• your note, as the Requester’s note, and any Manager’s note
• who approved, rejected or cancelled it, and the reason for a cancellation
• Add to Calendar, with Google Calendar or Outlook, for approved leave that hasn’t ended
• Cancel Request, until the leave starts, except on leave booked for a company closure

Others out lets you check the cover around your break without seeing anyone else’s leave.

What you’re told

Folke emails you, and sends a notification to any phone or computer where you’ve turned them on, when:

• your leave is approved, with links to add it to your calendar
• it isn’t approved this time, with any note from your manager and a suggestion to have a chat with them
• someone books leave for you
• someone changes your leave for you
• someone cancels your leave for you, with their reason

Each has its own switch in Notifications.
