How to Request for Replacement Leave?

Location: Myself (ESS) -> Leave -> Replacement Leave Request

Replacement leave request is an application to request for additional leave as a replacement for working on non-working days. Upon approval, the replacement leave will be credited to the employee's leave balance. In order to utilize the replacement leave credited, the employee must submit a leave application. 


For example, 1 Jan 2019 is a public holiday. However, employe Ali had to attend work due to shortage workforce. In this case, the employee can request to have 1-day of replacement leave for working on a public holiday.

In order to utilize the replacement leave, Ali must apply for leave again.
