How to submit a time off request

1. Navigate to Time Off > Request Time Off.

2. Select the policy that you want to use to request time off.

3. Select the date(s) for which you want to request time off.

Click + Add New in the top-right corner, or click-and-drag from your desired start date and end date to select multiple days. Make sure you double-check the time and date of the request before clicking “Add”. 

4. Add a comment (optional) for the reviewer to see.

5. Make precise adjustments to time taken.

To manually modify the amount of days/hours for a request block, click on the pencil/edit icon and select Okay.

Ex: Perhaps an employee wants to submit a single request that represents working half days for the week from March 9 - March 13, and therefore would alter the balance requested to 2.5 days instead of 5 days. In addition to the balance adjustments, the employee can add a note to give the reviewer more insight as to why it's only 2.5 days being deducted over the 5 day range. 

To alter the balance requested, click in the individual input fields and input your desired value for each day within the requested date range. In the example mentioned above, the requestor should adjust each input field to 0.5 days for the entire request block, then click Submit request

Pro tip: You can also request time off from My Dashboard by clicking on Request Time Off in the top-right corner.
