    1. Click CONTINUE.  The Time Off Request page is displayed.

This page contains read-only information on the selected employee, including work week hours, supervisor, scheduled work days, and accruals, as well as a place to enter the time off request information, and a list of any pending time off requests.

    1. Specify the date(s) being requested off by entering a date range in the Start Date and End Date fields (using mm/dd/yyyy format).

  TIP: To request a single day off, enter that day in both fields.

  TIP: The date(s) being requested must correspond with those on which the employee is scheduled to work.  For more information on employee work schedules click here.

    1. If you are not requesting a full day off, enter the number of hours/minutes being requested in the Partial Day Hours:Minutes field (using HH:MM format). 
    2. Click CONTINUE.  The Time Off Dates page is displayed.
    3. In the Explanation field, type a reason for the requested time off.

  NOTE: Whether or not the explanation field is displayed is dependent on the time off type selected on the previous page; for example, this field is shown when a sick day is requested, but not when a vacation day is requested.

    1. Click CONFIRM REQUEST.  The time off request is submitted, a message is sent to the employee's timesheet supervisor and to the person making the request, and the updated Time Off Request page is displayed.

  NOTE: When the employee's time off request is approved or denied by his or her supervisor, a message is sent to that employee notifying him or her of the decision.  For more information on processing time off requests click here.
