About Blackout Dates
Creating Blackout Dates allows you to denote busy times when you don't allow, or severely restrict, employees from taking time off. If an employee sends a Time Off Request from the employee portal, that encompasses any of the Blackout Dates, they will receive a message telling them that they are requesting time off during a blackout period. Managers will also receive a message if they manually enter an employee's time off request, or attempt to approve a time off request. Managers still have the ability to approve an employee's Time Off Request (in effect overriding the Blackout Date), if they choose. This feature simply provides a warning.
