Check your balance and request time off

A quick guide for Northstar employees

Use the Leave Management app to check your available balance and submit a time-off request. Your request, approval status, and recorded balance are handled in that app; this page does not submit requests.

Allowance figures and dates on this page are fictional examples for Northstar, a sample multi-location employer. They are not Northstar policy. Your actual eligibility, allowance, balance, and applicable dates depend on current approved guidance and your employee record.

Example annual allowances

Illustrative figures only—not policy or a promise of eligibility

Full-time office employees

Fictional Northstar example: 20 paid vacation days per calendar year for an eligible full-time employee.

  • Check your own balance and eligibility in Leave Management.
  • Confirm accrual, carryover, and other rules in the current time-off policy.
Full-time frontline employees

Fictional Northstar example: 15 paid vacation days per calendar year for an eligible full-time employee.

  • Schedules and eligibility can vary by role and location.
  • Check your own balance in Leave Management and confirm applicable rules in the current policy.
Part-time employees

Fictional Northstar example: paid vacation eligibility and amounts depend on the employee's role and scheduled hours.

  • Do not use the examples above to estimate your own balance.
  • Check your employee record in Leave Management and consult the current policy if eligibility is unclear.

Request time off

Submit the request in Leave Management and follow its status there.

  1. 1

    Check your balance

    Open Leave Management and review the balance shown for the leave type and dates you are considering.
  2. 2

    Enter the dates

    Choose the dates and leave type in Leave Management. Check the details before submitting.
  3. 3

    Submit and monitor

    Submit the request in the app. Check its status there and follow any instructions shown if your manager requests a change.

Check whether dates apply to your role and location

Blackout periods can affect approval

Blackout periods can affect whether a request is approved, but a date listed for one team or location may not apply to every employee.

Confirm the scope first

Check the event details in the connected Calendar and confirm the scope with your team guidance and the current policy before making plans.

If dates are unclear

Do not assume a request is approved. Check the policy or ask your manager through your usual workplace process.

About the Calendar data

The Calendar section displays tenant data only when a suitable calendar source is connected; dates and locations must be confirmed by the organization.

What to do next

For a balance check or leave request, open Leave Management. For eligibility, accrual, carryover, approval rules, and location-specific guidance, use the published time-off policy in Policy Hub when it is connected.

Before publishing this sample, the organization should confirm the allowance examples, policy scope, request process, calendar dates, and employee access to Leave Management. Assign a page owner and review the page when the time-off policy, relevant calendar dates, or app process changes.
