Time off

Employees submit their own time-off requests from their self-service portal. Each request is tied to the employee who filed it: the form doesn't let them request on anyone else's behalf.

Requesting time off

From their portal's Time off page, an employee clicks Request time off and fills in:

• Type: vacation, sick, personal or unpaid.
• Start and end date: both required.
• Hours: defaults to 8.
• Reason: optional free text.

A submitted request starts as Pending. The employee's own Time off page lists every request they've made and its current status: Pending, Approved or Rejected.

Where you see it as an admin

An employee's requests and balances appear on the Time off tab of their own record, so you have the history in context when you're looking at that person. Reviewing and deciding on a request happens on a separate admin surface outside this guide.
