      2. Select the icon for the required type of leave as highlighted below

      3. Select the required entitlement period you would like to request from

      4. Select ‘Request Leave’

      5. Complete the form & submit

      6. The request will go to the department manager to review the request

      🚀 Leave is now displayed in hours as well as days where appropriate across Patchwork:

        • Deduction calculations have been updated such that the system:
            • Always deducts the hours of a shift, if present (if not it deducts 8 hours by default)
            • Converts hours back to days and updates entitlements accordingly
      • Example: if you take leave on a day where you are scheduled for a 10 hour shift, you will be deducted 10 hours of leave = 1.25 days (assuming your organisation works to an 8 hour day default)
