Book annual leave

Once you have agreed with your line manager what dates you'd like to be off, you can book annual leave via iTrent.

Take sick leave

Call your manager before 10am (or your agreed start time). If you're going to be off for more than 7 calendar days, you need to provide a note from your GP.

Take special leave after a bereavement

You can generally get 2 weeks paid special leave. You can also get one day of paid leave to attend a funeral. Speak to your manager who can put this into iTrent for you.
