What You Need to Know
You just had a baby. Your mum is sick and needs a carer. You have a serious illness. There are plenty of reasons you may need to be away from work for more than a few days. That’s where a leave of absence comes in.
Types of leave
Family leave
Sickness absence leave
Parental leave
Compassionate leave
Sabbatical
COVID-19 leave
Workday will provide an additional 10 days of paid time off (PTO) if either you or an immediate family member is diagnosed with COVID-19.
Initiating a leave of absence
All leave requests must be submitted via Workday.
How to request time away
- Log in to Workday, select the Time Off icon, or go to Actions in your profile, and find Time and Leave.
- Select Request Time off, select the Type you need from the list, and fill in the details.
- Click Submit, and a Workday notification will be sent to your manager for approval.
Some types of leave need to be initiated in Workday by your manager or People & Purpose, and you will not be able to find them on your list of leave options. In these cases, contact your manager with your request, or submit a People Guide Request.
