How can I request holidays?
Request holidays with just one click.
As an employee, you can request holidays by accessing the “Holidays” section in the menu on the left-hand side of your Sesame dashboard.
Holidays >> Request holidays
You may request the days you want. However, keep in mind that it’s essential that you have a schedule assigned. If you don’t, the system won’t be able to calculate your holidays.
- First of all you need to pick the type, in this case Holidays.
- You can then choose the day(s) they want to take in you calendar. The system will calculate the days you are requesting and will show the ones you already used. To select the days, click on the first day, drag and drop and click again on the last day.
- You have the option to add a comment for your holidays validator.
- To confirm your request you need to click on “Request”.
Check carefully before finalising. If you accidentally select the wrong days, don't worry; you can easily deselect them by clicking on them again. Once you've submitted your request, your holidays validator will receive a notification to approve or reject it.
Either way, you'll also be notified when your request has been resolved.
Important! It is up to Sesame to decide which calendar to use for employee holidays and time off. It will always take the oldest calendar available and move on to the next calendar when all the days are used up.
