Check your location's current time-off guidance

Time-off amounts, eligibility, request instructions, and any blackout periods depend on the applicable current policy and your situation. This fictional example does not state amounts or guarantee approval. Check Policy Hub and follow the request route the current guidance identifies.

Prepare before you request time off

Use the applicable policy first, then follow its instructions.

  1. 1

    Find the applicable guidance

    In Policy Hub, open the current time-off record and check its scope, definitions, and effective date.

  2. 2

    Note the dates

    Write down the date or date range related to your question. Include dates in a general inquiry only when they help explain what you need.

  3. 3

    Check location instructions

    Look for any location-specific blackout periods, request rules, or timing requirements stated in the current guidance.

  4. 4

    Use the stated request route

    If the policy directs you to Leave Management, use that app to follow the configured process. A submitted request is not approved until the process confirms its status.

Need help finding the request route?

Ask your location's HR contact to point you to the current instructions.

Identify the time-off topic and the guidance you checked.

Do not treat a request as approved until Leave Management or the applicable process confirms it.

Keep sensitive personal details out of general contact messages.
