We’ve just added a feature that will help with managing vacation time. Here’s how it works.

Let’s say the employee is going on a vacation to Mexico from Feb 20 – Feb 27 and they need to have it approved by a manager/supervisor. First, the employee logs into their account, clicks on the “Time Off” link in the menu and fills out the form.

Once the employee submits the information, an email is sent out to either the account creator or to the supervisors that are set up to receive the “Time Off” notification emails (can be configured under settings).

Now a manager/supervisor has to login and either approve or decline this time off request. Once a manager/supervisor logs in, they’ll see a (1) in the “Time Off” menu tab. This means there is a request that needs action. To see all requests, the manager/supervisor will click on “View requests (1)”.

Before the manager approves or declines this time off request, they can see the comments that the employee might have left as well as how much approved time off that employee has taken so far that year.

Now let’s approve it.

That employee will then get an email letting them know that a manager/supervisor has approved their time off. All approved time off can be found under “View all approved” in the menu.

Now when a manager goes to make the schedule for the week that the employee took off, they will get a message about that employee being gone.

As the account creator, you may not want to give all of your supervisors the ability to manage time off requests. You can setup permissions for each supervisor under the “Employees” area.
