Time off requests

How staff ask

In the staff app, staff open Requests and choose Ask for time off. They pick the type, the first and last day, and can add a note. The request reaches you at once.

How you answer

Each request shows as a card on Home and on the Requests page. Before you decide, the card says what approving does: "If approved: Kitchen has 2 (at least 3) on Tue Oct 20", or "No gaps if approved." Press Approve, or Decline to add an optional reason (or Decline without a reason). The person is told. Undo is there for a short time if you press the wrong button.

Staff can cancel

A request that still waits can be cancelled by the person who sent it, from their Requests tab, with Undo.

Approve automatically

Open Settings, then Approvals, and choose for each type of request whether it waits for you or is approved automatically. A change that breaks a Must rule always waits.

Your time off types

Open Settings, then Time off types, to rename, add or remove types. Use the names your team already uses.

Time off in the schedule

Approved time off shows in the grid, and every draft leaves the person off on those days. Pending requests show too, so you do not schedule someone who has asked to be away.
