Manage employee time off - managers

Keep in mind, our system doesn't send time off requests to managers if the employee requesting the time off is also an admin on the account.

1. Click the Time Off tab.
2. Scroll to the My Team's Time Off tile and click Manage Requests.
3. View your assigned employee's requests for vacation and sick time.
   • To Review: Requested time off that has not yet been approved or declined.
   • Approved: Approved time off that has not yet been paid (payroll has not yet been processed for all requested dates).
   • Paid: Approved time off that has been paid (payroll has already been processed for all requested dates).
   • Declined: Requested time off that has been declined.
4. Click View next to the request to see the employee's current time off balance.

Once your employee submits a time off request, you'll receive an email notification as their assigned manager. A reminder will also appear as a sticky note on your Dashboard. You can approve the request by following these steps.

2. Under My Team's Time Off, click Manage Requests.
