As part of working at Safe Families we give you a gift of your birthday off.
It may be that your birthday isn't a working day for you or isn't convenient to have off and so you can book a day that you nominate within the window 7 days either side.
N.B. do not book your birthday day as annual leave otherwise it'll be deducted from your remaining allowance. The process is as follows:
30 days before your birthday, the request for the day off will be generated. You'll be automatically sent a link via email but you can also press the following button in the staff database.
You will also be reminded 7 days pre your birthday if you haven't yet nominated a day.
The drop down list on the form will list all the days that you can choose from. Pick your day of choice and press Send request. Your line manager will be informed. 7 days after your birthday, the window will close and you'll no longer to able to request your birthday day.
You'll notice you now have the option to change the requested day. This will wipe out any approval and resend the request to the line manager. You can request a change up until the approved day.
As a line manager you'll have two options. You can accept the request or ask that the employee picks a different day. You'll be reminded of the need to make a decision 7 days prior to the chosen date and then again 3 days prior if no decision has been made.
Once you make your decision, the employee will be notified. If you have asked them pick a different day then they'll be prompted to do that and any subsequent request will come back to you for approval.
