How do I create a holiday request?

If you are looking to take annual leave, you can submit a holiday request to your manager through Cintra's Self-Service Holiday module. The request can then be reviewed and approved by your manager(s), which depends on your company's tiered approval structure. Once the request is in the system, you can see its status in the Calendar and Team calendar for that month.

To create a holiday request

1. Sign into Self-Service.
2. Navigate to the Holiday Bookings page by clicking on the Holiday menu option.
3. Click the date you wish to begin your time off. The Create Holiday Booking form appears. You can also open the form by clicking the Request Holiday button.
4. Select the Absence Type: Annual Leave if there is more than one type in the drop down.
5. Confirm the Start Date.
6. Select the desired Start Time and End Time. The Total Days are automatically calculated. 
   • If you would like to take the morning off as annual leave, select AM in both start and end time. 
   • If you would like to go to work in the morning and take the afternoon off, select PM in both start and end time. 
   • If you would like a full day's leave, select AM in the start time and PM in the end time.
7. Select the desired End Date.
