# How to Submit and Track Time Off Requests in Connekt

> Submit a leave request in Connekt, track its approval status, and cancel a request if your plans change — all from the Time Off section.

Submitting a leave request in Connekt takes just a few steps. Once submitted, your request is visible to Managers and Operations users in your workspace who can approve or reject it. You'll receive a notification as soon as your request is reviewed, and you can check the status at any time from your Time Off overview.

## Submitting a leave request

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Time Off">
    Navigate to **Time Off → Overview**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start your request">
    Click **Apply for Leave**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the leave type">
    Choose the type of leave you're requesting from the dropdown: **Annual Leave**, **Birthday Leave**, **Personal Day**, or **Public Holiday**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your dates">
    Select your start date and end date. Leave requests are recorded as **full days** — partial-day requests are not currently supported.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a reason">
    Enter a reason for your leave. This may be required depending on your organisation's policy, or you can add it optionally for context.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit the request">
    Click **Submit**. Your request is immediately visible to your organisation's Managers and Operations users for review.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tracking your request status

You can check the status of any leave request at any time.

1. Go to **Time Off → Overview**.
2. Your requests are listed with their current status.

**What each status means:**

| Status        | What it means                                                                           |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pending**   | Your request has been submitted and is awaiting review by a Manager or Operations user. |
| **Approved**  | A Manager or Operations user has approved your request.                                 |
| **Rejected**  | Your request was not approved. You may have received a reason with the notification.    |
| **Cancelled** | You cancelled the request, or it was withdrawn before approval.                         |

<Note>
  You'll receive a notification when your request is approved or rejected, so you don't need to keep checking manually.
</Note>

## Cancelling a request

If your plans change, you can cancel a request while it's still **Pending** or has already been **Approved**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Time Off">
    Navigate to **Time Off → Overview**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the request">
    Click on the leave request you want to cancel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cancel the request">
    Click **Cancel Request** and confirm. The request status updates to **Cancelled** and your leave balance is restored if the request had already been approved.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Cancel as early as possible if your plans change — this frees up your balance and removes the approved leave from your manager's visibility, keeping your records accurate.
