β οΈ This guide applies to the new Eitje app, released in November 2025. Looking for the guide to the previous version of the app? Click here.
You can ask for time off in Eitje, so your manager knows you will not be available during that period. This is how to do it:
Open the menu in the bottom right corner of the app.
Under 'Leave', choose 'Request leave' to create a new leave request.
Adding an explanation is mandatory in a leave request.
Select whether you want to request leave for a few hours, an entire day, or a longer period of time.
Pick the date(s). In case there are any limitations for leave requests (e.g. min. 14 days in advance), it will show here.
Click 'Save'.
Your leave request is now 'Pending' until a manager approves or declines it.
π‘ Navigate to 'My leave' in the same 'Leave' section for an overview of your leave requests.
