# How do I apply for leave for my team?

Taking time off together as a team has many incredible benefits, from reducing FOMO to promoting a healthier work culture.

This feature can only be used by [an approver](https://support.getpause.com/en/article/assign-or-change-approver-for-a-member-pmaxp2/) or [admin](https://support.getpause.com/en/article/make-a-teammate-an-admin-gh6acw/). This leave type doesn't need further approval from anyone else.

## To book time off for your team:

**Step 1:** Click on the **Calendar** icon on the top left.

**Step 2:** Click on **Apply** on the right. A form will open with the title **Book leave.**

**Step 4:** Select a **Leave Type** and the **Start** and **End Date** to complete the application. You can also add a **Reason** if you wish.

**Step 5:** Once you are done, click **Submit.**

And you're done!

Pause will tell your team that you've booked time off for them on the Pause browser app, Slack bot, and via email, as long as they've opted in to receive notifications.
