Employee guide

This is a simple guide on how to get the most out of Leaveboard. As a team member, you will be able to book time-off, check your balance, access your time-off request history, and access the personal and team calendar.

As a new user to LeaveBoard, we recommend following these steps:

Step 1. Activating your account

Since you have been invited to use the LeaveBoard Time-off manager by one of your colleagues, you must check the email and activate your account.

Step 2. Check your profile

From the My account item in the Menu, in the Profile tab, check if the Work details saved are correct. If there are some inconsistencies, ask the colleague that invited you to correct them.

Step 3. Your dashboard

The time-off dashboard offers the information needed to make key decisions when it comes to booking leaves. In one glimpse, you have access to the following data:

• The possibility to book time-off
• Your balance
• Who is off today
• The team calendar

Step 4. Book Time-off

Under the dashboard, you have the Book Time-Off option. The dashboard provides all the key details needed to select the dates that you plan to get PTO or to book the sick days. Additional HR data such as who is off today, when the next public holiday, or who is out today will be present.

Booking your first leave

Here are the simple steps to book time-off:

1. Go to your Dashboard in the Book Time Off card.
2. Select the Type of leave you would like to book.
3. Select the Duration.
4. Add a Comment that your manager will read.
5. Check the Balance, and Overlaps if any.

Once you click on the Book time-off button, the manager will automatically receive one email with the request and approve or decline your request. The system will notify you instantly of the manager's decision.
