My leaves

View, request, and manage your own time off.

My leaves is where you view, request, and manage your own time off. It's where you can see how much leave you have left, what's already approved, and what you've used so far in the year.

Tip

HR is an Enterprise-plan feature. It can also be switched off on Enterprise by an Owner or Admin under Settings → Workspace → Features. Either way the HR pages leave your sidebar, and opening one directly takes you to the Dashboard with a note explaining which of the two applies.

The leave types available to you — along with how much of each you're entitled to — are set up by your admin in HR → Absence types. Whether a leave type needs admin approval, allows half days, or requires supporting documents all depends on how it's been configured, so what you see on this page reflects your workspace's setup.

At the top of the page, you'll find a summary of your leave balance for the selected leave year, so you can quickly see where you stand before you plan any time off. Alongside your main allocation, any other absence types your workspace tracks are shown too — a fixed sick day balance, TOIL, or something bespoke.

Tip

Use the date range selector to switch the summary to a different leave year — useful if you're planning holidays across two years or checking what you took last year.

Below the summary, you'll find your full leave history: past, upcoming, and pending. It's the one place to check what you've booked, what's still waiting for approval, and where you'd go to cancel or retract a request.

Overview of the My leaves page with balance summary and leave history.

Requesting leave

Trellis helps you plan properly before you submit.

Submitting a leave request.

Select Request or Log, then choose your leave type.

Pick the dates you'd like to take off and add any extra details your workspace requires.

Submit your request. You'll see its status appear in your leave history.

When requesting annual leave

Half days — Trellis allows you to only take part of the day off by selecting Half day, giving you more flexibility when planning time off.
Weekends and bank holidays are excluded — Trellis only counts working days against your leave balance. A Monday-to-Friday request counts as five days, not seven.
Clash detection — Trellis flags any clashes with other team members' approved or pending leave. Useful for spotting projects that may need a handover before you go, and helps your admin review team availability and resourcing ahead of time.

Once your leave is approved, it will show on your team's Resourcing calendar so anyone planning work knows not to schedule against your time off.

Cancelling leave

If your plans change, you can retract or cancel leave from your history:

Find the relevant leave entry.

If the request is still Pending, select Retract to withdraw it right away.

If the leave has already been Approved, select Ask to cancel. This sends the change to your admin for review, helping them adjust team availability and resourcing plans if needed.

Warning

Cancellation requests may not always be approved. Your admin may reject one if the leave has already been accounted for in scheduling, resourcing, or wider team planning.

My Leaves is available to Owners, Admins, Editors, and Members — Contributors and Viewers can't access this page since they aren't part of your workspace's leave management. Owners have one additional privilege: they can cancel their own approved leave directly without needing another admin to review it.
