# Ask for time off

Request holiday or training days from the engineer app, see how much holiday you have left and follow the office's decision.

Ask for holiday in the app, and the office approves or declines it.

1. Open **Profile → Time off**. The top shows how many days of holiday you have left this leave year.
2. Select **Request time off**.
3. Choose **Holiday**, **Training** or **Other**.
4. Choose the **First day** and **Last day**. For a single day you can choose **Morning** or **Afternoon** instead of **Whole day**.
5. Add a note for the office if you want to.
6. Select **Send request**.

Your request shows as **Waiting** until the office decides. You get a notification when they approve or decline it. Approved time off goes on your timesheet, and the office won't book you then.

To change your mind, select **Cancel request**.

Off sick? Don't use the app. Call the office, and they'll record it.
