Understanding the ‘Away Today’ screen and ‘Request Time Off’ calendar

Understanding the ‘Away Today’ screen and ‘Request Time Off’ calendar


The information that an employee can see in either the Away Today or Request Time Off calendar depends on three things: the type of role they’ve been assigned in Rise, their primary team, and their primary department. 

The Member, Team Lead, and Manager roles have limited access, as described in detail below. 

Members

Members can see time off requests made by employees with whom they share a primary team or a primary department. They can also see their own time off requests. 
Members don’t see time off requests of any employee, just their own. 

Leads 

Leads can see time off requests made by employees if they share the primary team or primary department. 
Leads can see the time off policy name of the time off requests for all employees with which they share a primary team or department. 
Leads will also see the time off requests they are in charge of reviewing.  

Managers 

Managers can see time off requests made by employees reporting directly to them, even if they are not the primary manager. They can also see time off requests made by employees with whom they share the primary department or primary team.  

Managers can see the time off policy name of the time off requests of direct reports, their primary team, and primary department. 

Admins and Owners

Users with the admin or owner role see time off requests for all employees. 

They can also see the type of time off policy used (personal, vacation, bereavement, etc.).
