Hi. Im in the Civil Service. Im looking to book time off annual leave for Christmas period.
Just wondering is this done via PeoplePoint? If so, how do you go about it? Steps?

Log into peoplepoint
Go to hr and pensions
Annual leave
Apply for your dates
Your manager then has to approve

Talk to your manager first. Looks like you're only in the door and others may have it booked from last Christmas

Thanks a mill..

Im looking to book time off from 23rd December to early 2021. I have told my supervisor of the dates I plan to book off with no issues.
How much in advance should I book my leave via peoplepoint?

The most important thing is to get the go-ahead from your supervisor. Ensure that your office has cover.

Peoplepoint was being updated this weekend. So I would leave it for a few days. See if there are any teething problems with the update (highly unlikely but you never know).

Make sure you book the leave before your supervisor goes on holidays - so they can approve it. Other than that, put it in when it suits you - unless there is a specific protocol for your section.

I usually agree my days off with my supervisor and then put them into the peoplepoint system after it has been taken.

We do this because its difficult and complicated change something that has already been approved on PeoplePoint, if the dates change for any reason.

For that reason, I wouldn't put them into PeoplePoint until after the leave is taken, unless your supervisor requests you put them in, in advance.

Thanks.

When you apply for the leave through PeoplePoint how do you know it has been approved or declined by your manager?
Do you get an email notification?

Yes but talk to your manager first.

For those booking the 24th off. Its usually an early finish so a waste of a day.

You will get an automated email from PeoplePoint when your manager has approved or declined your request.

Can I double check the dates that I recently booked off as annual leave via PeoplePoint? If so how?

If you log in you should see on the top right hand corner any upcoming leave you have booked and your leave allowance remaining.

Thanks.
When doing the above, will it show the exact duration of the leave booked?
As in starting date of the leave &.date due back at work?

There's a user guide on the Peoplepoint screen. Have a read of it.

These type of questions should be handled in the office.

Have people gotten lazy with the systems that they can't be bothered looking at the portals to understand the services offered.
A simple look at the portal when applying for Al would save the questions.

I'm sure the help desk staff get tired of it especially when there's a help section
