writing - Applying/earning/validating leave



When someone attends an event, he will be awarded some additional leave subject to his boss's approval. Therefore, he will need to submit a leave application to his boss for approval.



Should I call this (action 1) apply leave, submit leave, apply new leave or something else?



Note that if we use apply leave or submit leave, we will have another problem as follows. If that someone wants to use the leave that his boss had approved for action 1, he will need to submit this further application to his boss for approval.



Then, should I call this (action 2) apply leave (not again?), submit leave (not again?) or something else?


Answer




The user is receiving a "leave credit" for attending the event. When they need to take time off, they're requesting leave. I'd use:




  1. Apply for Leave Credit

  2. Request Leave



I think most English speakers will understand this.
