Requesting annual leave and recording sickness absences

It is really important for all of us to take time to rest. That’s why we want to encourage you to use your annual leave to look after your wellbeing. Whether that is having a socially distanced meet up with friends in a pub garden, or even just sitting at home and truly resting your mind. Either way it is important to reset and relax your mind in a way that works best for you.

We have reached that time of year again when the annual leave entitlements are updated on ESR. We are asking everyone to check their entitlement is correct; ensuring any carry over and purchased or sold annual leave has been updated. Recording this information on ESR is mandatory and we need to makesure our records are accurate. We also want to remind managers to ensure they record any sickness absences.

You can check the details of your annual leave on My ESR. Our HR team has also created some helpful user guidelines for employees and absence logging for managers.

If you need any support with using ESR, please contact the HR team who will be happy to help you.
