Leave

Asking for leave, balances, approvals and your leave policy. Part of Masthead Team.

• How do I ask for leave?Open Leave and click Apply for leave. Choose the type; Masthead shows how much you have left.
• Which kinds of leave are there?Casual leave (CL), sick leave (SL), earned leave (EL), unpaid leave, comp off, maternity leave and paternity leave.
• How are leave balances worked out?Each calendar year, everyone gets the year's casual, sick and earned leave from your leave policy at once, with less for people who join during the year.
• How do I set our leave policy?In Settings → Leave policy (admins and HR), choose the year and set the days of earned leave (PL), casual leave (CL) and sick leave (SL) a year, and how many earned leave days carry into the next year.
• Who approves leave, and how?The person's manager (their Reports to), or anyone in admin, leadership or HR, or someone the manager has handed their approvals to.
• Can people take leave during probation?No. Leave builds up from the first day, but Masthead only accepts requests for days after probation ends, and says from when they can apply.
• Where do I see who is on leave?On the Calendar (switch on Time off), on the live attendance board, and on each person's attendance calendar.
