Explaining Time Off for Managers

Managers can use Time Off to consider employees’ requests for time off through their web browsers or mobile devices. The workflow provides context details to help managers understand the dates, duration, type of absence, etc. In that way, they can quickly decide whether to approve or reject the request.

The Team Absence Calendar helps managers and employees plan their time by showing when colleagues will be absent. The calendar shows absences for peers and, if you're also a manager, your direct and indirect reports.

Temporary deviations from the standard working pattern don’t require a job information change. Such deviations can be represented via temporary work schedules that temporarily override the regular working pattern defined by the work schedule assigned in the job information.

Examples:

• An employee is going to cover for someone who is absent and will work that person's schedule.
• An employee is traveling to another country or another site where the work schedule is different from the one the employee normally works.

• Managers can review and approve or reject employee time off requests as part of the approval process.
• The team absence calendar allows you to view scheduled absences for peers, direct reports, and indirect reports.
• Temporary work schedules can be implemented to make short-term changes to standard work schedules without altering job information.
