I cannot assign myself holidays, how to I process holidays for my own profile

Managers can request their own holiday via their employee profile.

Your employee profile can be accessed in two ways:

Via the web portal - To request your own holiday, please navigate to the Temple icon from the toolbar at the top of your screen. Then, click ‘Switch to Employee profile’ to access your own details. The manager would then click ‘Request a Holiday’ and enter the length of time they wish to take off. Please bear in mind that the ‘Switch to Employee profile’ icon will only be available for users that already have their employee profile linked, which is facilitated by level 5 users.

Managers can also request holiday by logging in to the S4 employee app.

However, managers cannot approve their own holiday – this would have to be approved by a separate user.

If managers wish to add their own holiday without having to get another manager to approve this, they can manually add their own holiday using the Absence widget within the main rota page. This can be done by accessing the main rota page, clicking on the Absence widget button, and clicking ‘Add Absence’. From here, the manager can select their name from the drop-down list of employees and select either a ‘Full day holiday’ or ‘Half day holiday’ and select the days of the week that this will apply to. Once this has been added, the holiday will be reflected on the rota and the holiday calendar, and other managers will be able to reference this widget to see who added this absence.
