On this page

Use the Vacation screen to check your vacation balance and request time off.

  1. Open Vacation from the navigation menu.
  2. Under Vacation This Year, review your balance — for example, “2 of 3 weeks remaining” — along with your Vacation Eligibility Date and Vacation Pay Bucket.
  3. Tap Request Time Off.
  4. In the Time-Off Request sheet, choose Paid or Unpaid.
  5. Set Starts and Ends using Select start time and Select end time, or toggle All Day Event if you’ll be away the entire day.
  6. Enter a reason. Depending on the type of leave, this may be required or optional.
  7. Tap Request Time Off to submit.
Note: Vacation requests need your employer's approval. Check Past Requests to see whether a request is Pending or Approved.

If you need to cancel a request after submitting it, its status will show as Removed or Removal requested once your employer processes the cancellation.
