Your employees can send you their time off requests directly through the application. You will receive a notification once you receive a new request.

You can manage all time off 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 request submitted by your employees.

To do this:

  1. Hover over the Time off tab located in the main menu on the left

  2. Click on the Time off requests sub-tab

  3. Select the request you want to manage

  4. Check the dates that the employee is requesting a time off

  5. Select or confirm the time off type

  6. Select the paid days recorded for the time off

  7. Assign a location and position if necessary

  8. Confirm the justification if required by your organization

    Click on 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 requests, you will receive a warning and can manage the conflicts directly through this window.

You will have the option to delete shifts, convert them to open shifts, or transfer them to another employee.

Note: You will always be notified of schedule conflicts and approved time off requests during the same period. You will 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 and/or deny the time off.​


Modifying or cancelling a time off request:

It is possible to modify or cancel a request that has already been approved from the Time off requests page, which you can get to by clicking Time Off > Time off requests.

To modify or cancel an approved time off request:

  1. Select the Approved filter in the options on the left

  2. Click on the request

  3. Press Edit in the upper right corner​

  • To leave a comment, click the speech bubble in the top right, next to where the Edit button was located.

  • Make any adjustments to the request needed - including updating the date or time off type.

  • To cancel this request - click the trash can icon in the bottom right:
