Managing holidays and days off through the S4 Connect app

Employees can request, see upcoming, past and amend their days off through the S4 Connect app. 

Days off can be:

• Holiday
• Authorised absence (a not available day, to get approval not to be scheduled on the day)
• Birthday day (if your company provides days off for birthdays)

How to request a day off or holiday

1. Navigate to the Holidays section of the S4 Connect app via the bottom bar menu 
2. Select the Request button to navigate to the Request a Day Off screen
3. Fill in all the relevant fields on the Request a Day Off screen including, day off type, dates, duration and reason
4. Select Submit to send the request for manager approval

Tip: 

The app shows the count of teammates holiday in the same period through a red amber green system. This helps to understand the likelihood of the request being approved.

2. Either select Upcoming or Pending on the top slider to navigate to either approved upcoming holiday or requests pending approval
