If you want to book a one day leave, you must not request both days and hours. Kompass will assume that you are booking one full day plus any hours you add. It is a good practise to only use either days or hours when booking your leave.
Upon clicking "Save", an email with the leave request will be sent to you and your manager. Once your manager approves your annual leave, you will receive another email informing you about your manager's decision.
Half-day leaves should be booked as single entries. It is advised not to book, for example, 2.5 days of leave. Kompass will not be able to mark whether the half day is at the beginning or end of your leave. Therefore, for the example above, book 2 days as leave and 0.5 days of leave independently.
Note that if you are a manager and want to save and approve the leave request of an employee you are managing, you can click "Approve" instead. This will both save and approve the leave.
