How to Handle Holidays and Special Leaves

Principle

The system allows players to book their own holidays in advance, and to request special leaves from the TD.  Special leaves are intended to allow for unusual circumstances like illness or urgent work commitments.

Note that holidays and special leaves are taken on an event basis, so please remember that players may be participating in several events with different start and end dates.

The TD may edit a player's leave in certain circumstances.

Practice

1. Players may book their own holidays by selecting Event Cross-table/Take Leave or Game/Event/Take Leave.

   Holidays can only be booked in advance.
   Holiday dates in that are in the future can be changed, but those already taken cannot be altered by the player.

2. The TD may edit players' holidays by selecting Event List/Event/Control/Player/Leave.

   Holidays can only be Taken or Removed for future dates.
   Holidays already taken may be changed to special leaves, but cannot be removed.

3. Players may select Email TD to request special leave, or raise queries about holidays.

   Players must state the reason for their requests and the time period they need.
   The TD must consider the request and respond with a decision by email.
   If the TD agrees, then Grant Special Leave enters the chosen dates on the player's calendar.
