Employee Time Off (Time Clock)
Employees can request time off and view their own time off from the time clock (after entering their PIN).
How Employees Request Time Off
- On the time clock, enter PIN and go to the time off (or "My time off") section.
- Click Add time off (or similar).
- Choose type (e.g. Vacation, Sick leave), start date, end date, and optionally notes.
- Submit. The request is pending until a manager approves or rejects it.
Employees see a confirmation that the request was submitted and is pending approval.
Viewing Personal Time Off History
- In the time off section on the time clock, employees see their time off records.
- Use year navigation (e.g. previous/next year) to switch between years.
- The list shows type, dates, and often status (e.g. Pending, Approved, Rejected).
Checking Upcoming Time Off
- Upcoming time off is included in the same list (e.g. future dates in the current or next year).
- Employees can use this to confirm approved leave or see pending requests.
Approving or Rejecting Employee Requests (Managers)
- Pending requests often appear in a "Pending requests" (or similar) area on the Time Off page.
- Approve or Reject each request. When rejecting, you may add an optional reason.
- When you approve, overlapping shifts for that employee are removed automatically (see Managing Time Off Records).
- Rejected requests stay in the list as rejected; they do not create or remove any time off or shifts.
