Who can do what?

• Setting up time off codes and accruals is done by account administrators.

• Approval or denial of team member time off requests can be done by admins and managers.
• Team members can enter time off or they can request time off depending on the account settings. Team members will be able to see the number of hours they are predicted to have on the date for the time off using both the options.

Follow steps to set up time off:

• (This is Optional) Click on Approval Required.
• Until a Manager or Administrator approves or denies the time off request, every time off that individuals enter will remain in a pending state.  If a timesheet is approved, a request only becomes a time off .

•  When should one create a time off timesheet?
• In some cases, after a time off is entered, a time off timesheet is not created immediately. This helps to obtain accurate accrual balances.
• When the time off dates are within the pay period and the balance covers the entire entry a timesheet is created.
• One of these happens based on the accrual type if the time off is outside of the current pay period:
• When the current pay period is none or Manual, the timesheet is created immediately.
• The timesheet is created immediately when the current pay period is yearly. As long as, the timesheet created is within the current year of accruals.
• When the current pay period is by pay period or hours worked then the time-sheet is not created until the accrual date of the pay period occurs.
