To help you make the right request when you need to be absent for a specific period, here's the difference between managing availability and requesting time off.
Availability requests
If you wish to notify your manager of your new school schedule, a period of the day when you will be unavailable each week (e.g. every Monday afternoon) or a short appointment, select the "Availability" option from the navigation bar.
Click here to consult the article explaining how to send your unavailability to your manager.
IMPORTANT: Please note that it is your unavailability that must be added, since the system considers you being available at all times.
Time off requests
If you'd like to submit a request for an absence, such as a sick day, a medical appointment or holidays, we recommend you submit a time off request. Simply click the "Request time off" button int he top-right corner of either your Scheduling dashboard or the Time off Requests page.
