How to view your remaining annual leave

You can use the "My Absences" tab to view the remaining balance of each absence type that has a balance associated to it (i.e. annual leave/holiday/lieu for example) for each leave period (leave year).  To view your remaining balance, follow these steps below.

Step 1- From the home page select "Self-Service" from the navigation menu.

Step 2- Select the "My Absences" tile from the available tile list .

Step 3- Select the "Summary"  tab then from the drop down menu enter the "Type", "Period" and "Status" then select "Go".

Step 4 – .The screen will then update to display the balance, as well as the breakdown of the absences, booked associated to the absence type and leave period (leave year) chosen, in order that you can see how your remaining balance is being calculated:

HANDY HINT -  to view any outstanding requests that are not yet approved, you can update the status drop-down to requested the balance that displays in this view will include any requests for absence that you have made, that your line manager has not yet approved already subtracted.  This is to prevent you booking more leave than your available balance allows. 

The balance will also have any requests you have made to carry forward leave from this leave period (leave year) that have either been approved or not yet approved, subtracted.  This is also to avoid you booking more leave than your available balance allows.

Absence types that do not have a balance, will display with the number of instances or hours booked using that absence type, within the leave period (leave year) chosen, as per this example.

You may also wish to see detail on how many absences are booked on your record within the system, for absence types that do not have a balance, for example, sickness or jury service.  To do this, follow steps 1-4 again, but instead choosing a different absence type from the "Type" drop-down menu.
