Creating Time Off Requests

1. Press Request Time Off for the time off plan you want to submit a request for.  
   
2. You should see the available hours for the time off plan and the hours of your request towards the top. You will need to enter the necessary and optional information.
   • Choose Start Day/Choose End Day - The start date selected will auto-populate into the end date as well. You can further adjust the start/end date dynamically. You cannot skip days. If you need to skip a day, you must submit multiple time off requests.
   • Include Weekends - This will be automatically enabled if the time off request spans across the weekend.
   • Weekly date grouping - If your time off plan allows you to request partial days, you can edit the hours requested per day. If the option to request partial days is disabled, you will not be able to edit the fields and will be restricted to 8 hours with a start time of 8 a.m. each day.
   • Start Time - Will default to 8:00 a.m. and determines the start/end time of Time Off time records that will be generated onto the time card.
   • Comments - Optional comment field
   • If your time off request overlaps with a company event, such as a holiday, you may receive a warning.

Time Off requests cannot be edited after creation. If the request was entered incorrectly, it must be canceled and recreated.
