Book an absence

MyCascade is now available as an app. Find out how to install it. If your device is not compatible, you can still view MyCascade in a browser on a desktop or mobile device.

You can book an absence in the following places:

  • On the home page, select Request Annual Leave.

    Screenshot showing the number days left out of annual leave entitlement, total entitlement, and request annual leave button.
  • On Calendar, select Add to calendar or Request holiday.

Your access rights when booking an absence depend on your profile settings. Employees normally request an absence and that request would go to the users line manager using the Works For field on their current Job and Salary record.

Complete the details on the Complete Add to calendar form.
