Applying for end of year leave through PEMS
As 2024 comes to a close, you may be thinking of your end of year leave. After speaking with your manager, simply follow the below steps to apply and seek leave approval in PEMS.
To plan your leave, you’ll need to know how much leave you have available. Viewing your leave entitlements and approved leave is simple and can be found by clicking on the Leave Request tile on your PEMS homepage.
