My shifts

Request time off

From My shifts, request a date range and a leave kind. Accruable kinds consume the leave ledger. Managers approve from the dashboard inbox.

StaffManagers Open in the app

Staff request time off from My shifts. Managers approve it. Approved time off is a hard Auto-Fill block on those dates.

Make a request

  1. Open My shifts.
  2. Start a time-off request.
  3. Start date and end date (inclusive), in the workspace zone.
  4. Kind — paid time off, sick / personal, carer's leave, compassionate, parental, or unpaid.
  5. Optional reason.
  6. Submit.

The request is pending until a manager decides. You can withdraw a pending request.

Balances

Paid time off, sick, and carer's leave consume a balance. The other kinds do not. Balances come from the append-only leave ledger (accruals, takings, adjustments) — not a number a manager typed over last week.

If a request would overdraw an accruable kind, the UI says so. Managers can still decide; the ledger is the record.

What happens on approval

  • Those dates are unavailable to Auto-Fill.
  • Accruable kinds write a taken row.
  • Existing posted shifts on those days are not auto-removed. A manager still has to move or cancel them, and a posted cancel can owe predictability pay.

Managers

The dashboard inbox lists pending time off. Team also shows the person's requests and ledger. Approve, decline, or post an adjustment.

Do not "fix" a balance by deleting old rows. Post an adjustment.
