Request time off

Submit a request

1. On your employee dashboard, click "Request Time Off" in the right sidebar.
2. The "Request time off" dialog opens in Single mode (Recurring and Bulk are covered in their own article).
3. Pick the Leave Type.
4. Choose the duration: "Full day", "Half day" (when the leave type allows it), or "By the hour" with an hours field.
5. Select your dates in the "Pick your days" calendar, a single day or a range.
6. Optionally add coverage (a backup person) and a reason for your approver. Some leave types require a reason or a supporting document.
7. Click "Submit Request".

A half day always counts as 0.5 day (4 hours). You do not pick morning or afternoon in this version.

What the system checks before submitting

Public holidays and your non-working days are excluded automatically. They never count against your allowance.

• Advance notice: some leave types require requests to start a minimum number of days in the future.
• Available balance: you cannot request more days than you have, unless your policy allows a negative balance.
• Blackout periods: dates your company has blocked show a conflict message with the period's name.
• Waiting period: new hires may need a minimum length of service before using a leave type.
• Duration rules and spending limits: minimum/maximum request length and per-period caps.
• Team coverage: an advisory warning when too many teammates are already out.

Save a draft instead

Not ready to submit? Click "Save Draft". Drafts appear in the sidebar under "Pending or Drafts" and in your History tab. Open one later with "Continue editing" and finish with "Submit Draft".

After you submit

• The request appears as Pending in your sidebar and History tab, and your available balance is reduced by the reserved days.
• Your approver is notified; you get an in-app notification (and an e-mail, if enabled in your profile) when the request is approved or denied.
• You can withdraw a pending request from the sidebar at any time before it is decided.
