Your employees can request time off directly through the app. You'll receive a notification for each new request. You can manage all requests in Atlas Scheduling > Time off. This will bring you to the Time off requests menu.
Managing time off requests
You can approve or reject time off requests submitted by your employees:
Hover over the Time off tab located in the left navigation bar.
Click on the Time off requests submenu.
Select the request you want to manage.
Check the dates that the employee is requesting time off.
Adjust or confirm the time off type.
Select the paid days recorded for the time off.
Assign a resource and position if necessary.
Confirm the justification if required by your organization.
Click Approve.
If no conflicts are detected, the request will be approved, the time off will be added to the schedule, and the employee will be notified. If shifts conflict with the request, you'll receive a warning and can manage the conflicts.
Selecting Manage will let you delete shifts, convert them to open shifts, or reassign them.
Important: You'll always be notified of schedule conflicts and approved time off requests during the same period. You'll also see the employee's most recent time off request to help you determine whether you can approve it.
At any time, you can also leave a comment for the employee or deny the time off.
