Request time off

Ask for days off from the Time Off & Availability calendar or My Time Off, pick the type of leave, and see how much you have left before you send it.

In the sidebar, open Operations, then Availability, then Time Off & Availability. The page address is /schedule/availability/calendar. The same form is on My Time Off under your profile (/profile/time-off).

Before you start

Your role needs permission to submit availability requests. Your request lands on your own schedule; if you need to enter time off for someone else, see Add time off for a team member.

Steps

1. Press Request time off. The Request Time Off panel opens and reminds you that your manager approves it before it goes on the schedule.
2. Under Type of time off, choose the kind of leave. The Your time off remaining card shows what you can request, what is still waiting for approval, and the total left.
3. Set Start date and End date. Your last day is included.
4. Need only part of a day? Open Pick times or add a note, turn All day off, then set Start and End.
5. Under Note for your manager, add anything they should know. This is optional.
6. Press Submit request.

What you see

The request appears on your calendar with a Pending chip. Open it any time to see its Status and Window. Once your manager decides, the chip changes to Approved or Denied, and approved time off blocks that time on the Schedule.

If your plans change, open the request and press Cancel request. You can add a Reason for cancelling first.

If something looks different

• The button reads Add time off: your role manages availability for others. See Add time off for a team member.
• The card says no types are set up for you yet: no leave policy is assigned to you. Send the request anyway; your manager can still approve it.
• The card shows an amber warning: this type needs review before it can be approved, usually because the request is longer than what you have left.
• Request time off is missing: your role cannot submit requests. Ask your admin.
