Employee Requests

On this screen, you can view and manage employees’ requests for time off, availability, and shifts. The Employee Requests screen offers three views:

Time Off Requests
Availability Requests/Logs
Shift Requests

The screen opens to the Time Off Requests view by default. Although each view displays different information, all views show the status of each request.

Note: A request remains in a pending status if there is a conflict or if managers do not change the status before the start date.

Tasks performed from this screen:

Caution: Changes or cancellations cannot be made after the pay period is closed. If an employee's accrual balance is negative, a warning message appears. Managers can view a past request, but the data is read-only.
