Request and approve time off

Approved time off is respected by the builder, so the person is not scheduled on those days.

Employee steps

1. Open the Shifts tab and tap Request time off.
2. Tap the first day, then the last day. A single day is fine.
3. Add a reason if you like (optional).
4. Tap Send request. You see Request sent, and you are told when your manager decides.

Manager steps

1. Open the Requests tab. On the phone, new requests are under To decide, and the tab shows a count. On the web, pending requests are listed first.
2. Read the dates and the note.
3. Tap Approve or Decline.
4. Decided requests are kept under Decided.

Good to know

• You can only pick days from tomorrow for the next 14 days.
• Time off shows with the employee's name and dates. Approved days are counted as unavailable when you build.
• If the week is already built, check it after you approve and edit it by hand if needed. See Edit the week by hand.
• Time off requests are not limited to a paid plan. Swaps are. See Swap a shift.
• To say you usually cannot work a certain shift, use the Hours tab instead. See Get started as an employee.
