    Helpful Hint

    For open-ended leave requests, you do not need to add an End Date. If you want to submit an open-ended leave request but are ‌prompted to add an end date, speak to your admin about changing the leave settings in the HR web platform.

  2. The app will calculate how many hours or days this equates to, reliant on what your employer has set this to. 
  3. You can then add notes if needed.
