To request a holiday or absence within the Chronicle Employee App, you can either select the 'Request Holiday' button below the clocking options then the 'Requests' tab or, open the menu in the top-left and choose 'Holidays/Absence' then 'Requests'.

Within this tab, you can choose between booking a 'Holiday' or 'Absence'. 

You'd then select the 'Holiday Type'/'Absence Type' from the drop-down and then the 'Duration' of this request. Below these options will be a calendar for you to select the date(s).

On the calendar, you can select the Month/Year that is displayed in the top-left to quickly navigate to a different month, or press the year again to navigate to a year in the future.

Once the appropriate date(s) have been selected, simply click 'Send' to put through the request.
