# Viewing and checking holidays

If you are looking to take annual leave, you can submit a holiday request to your manager through Cintra's Self-Service Holiday module. The request can then be reviewed and approved by your manager(s), which depends on your company's tiered approval structure.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**: If you are the manager submitting the request on behalf of an employee, you should have approval from the employee to proceed. The request will then be approved automatically.
