Staff: Managing Leave

The Staff Leaves feature in Discover helps keep track and manage leave dates for Staff. 
Additionally, there is an option for Staff to have access to Individual Leave where they can request certain days, which can then be marked as Requested, Approved or Declined by Administrators

Requesting Leave: Staff

Requirements

• The staff member must have login credentials for Discover.
  
• When a staff member is set up, ensure ''Indv. Leave Access'' is ticked. If you would prefer Teachers not to have admin permissions, be sure to select ''No Access'' in the relevant fields. This will ensure that staff members only have access to the Staff Leave option in Discover.
  

Process

1. Navigate to the left side menu and click on Staff > Manage Your Leaves. This menu item will only be visible if Staff Leaves have been entered.
   
2. Use the back/forward buttons to move the calendar to the relevant month, then click on a date.
3. A pop-up window will appear to enter leave details.
4. Select the Away From and Away To dates.
5. Enter the Time From and Time To if required.
6. Select the Reason from the dropdown.
7. Click Save. 

By default the leave will be highlighted as yellow on the calendar, indicating that the leave is yet to be approved.
