Frequently Asked Questions about Managing Employee Time Off Requests

We don't use the scheduling feature in the Time & Attendance module. Can we still use time off requests?

Yes. You can still benefit from the automated workflow, messaging, and edit audit functionality provided by time off requests. When time off requests are approved, non-worked schedules will still be created in the Time & Attendance module. These schedules will be visible on the Schedules page displayed in the Manager role. In such cases, the earnings code associated with the non-worked schedules will function as links from the Schedules page to the original time off request.
I have approved an employee's request to take a half-day off. His schedule now shows that he is scheduled for four hours of Vacation, but it does not show his remaining half-day of work, Why not?

When a time off request is approved or partially approved and then accepted, a non-worked schedule is created for each row of the time off request that was approved. If the approved non-worked time overlaps any existing worked time, the entire scheduled work time is suppressed. If you intend for the employee to work the non-overlapping portion of the previously schedules work time, you must create a new half-day worked schedule for him.
After talking with my employee, I have reconsidered and I want to approve a request I previously denied. How do I do this?

You cannot modify a request after you have submitted your review. You will need to ask the employee to submit a new request.
