How do I request, record, or approve time off?
For everyone · Updated July 7, 2026
Use this when PTO or other leave needs to be requested, recorded, or approved.
Employee request
- Open My Time Off and click Request Time Off.
- Pick the leave type, then choose Full Day(s) or Partial Day. Partial days take a single date plus an hours amount, so partial-hour requests are supported.
- Review the balance shown for that type, add optional notes, and click Submit Request.
- A request over your available balance can still be submitted; it is flagged for the reviewer. You can cancel a request while it is Pending.
Manager review
Managers with the Approve Time Off permission use the Time Off view in People. Team Requests lists requests with a balance line for each pending one. Approve or Deny with optional notes, or reassign a request to another approver.
Manager-entered time off
Click Add Time Off to record an approved block directly for an employee, full or partial day. It is labeled Manager-entered and can be cancelled later from the same list.
Schedule and payroll
Approved time off shows as Time off in the timesheet week grid, warns schedulers before that employee is assigned, and approved paid hours flow into the PTO column of the payroll CSV at export.
