Does my vacation request need to be approved by my manager?

It depends! Your manager may have chosen to automatically approve time off requests once they are sent. If they are not automatically approved, you will need to wait until your manager approves them.

Can I view my time off on my schedule?

Yes, you absolutely can! Once your request for time off, such as a vacation or sick leave, for example, is approved, it will be automatically reflected on your timesheets and your schedule. Take a look at an example of how it looks like in each:

I sent a vacation/sick leave request but made a mistake. Can I edit the request?

Unfortunately, no. Employees cannot edit a time off request. However, if the request status is still 'Pending', you can cancel it and send a new one. To cancel it:

  1. Log in to your account

  2. Access the Profile tab

  3. Press on View Requests and, under the Requests History section, find the submission and access it

  4. If the Request status is 'Pending', choose Cancel request

However, if the request has already been approved, you will need to contact your admin and ask for their assistance.
