RR Policy 0-14 : Leave Application Policy

Purpose: Red Road is committed to providing a just environment for its staff when managing the administration of leave. 

Process: 

1. All leave must be documented by using HRMS Portal. 

2. To assist with scheduling and operational requirements, all foreseeable leave must be requested at least two weeks prior to the requested leave date. If the leave is unforeseeable, the leave form should be completed and submitted to the supervisor as soon as the employee returns. 

3. The employee must complete the Leave Request form indicating the type of leave to be taken (e.g. casual, earned, leave without pay), the dates of the leave and the total hours to be taken from the designated leave category. The completed form is submitted to the immediate supervisor for approval. 

4. The supervisor independently verifies whether the employee has the leave available before approving a request for paid leave. Once confirmed, the supervisor will approve the leave on HRMS portal. If the leave is not approved, the supervisor  needs to state the reason why the leave was not approved on HRMS portal.
