Manage Time Off Requests on the SkyTab Workforce Mobile App

Description: Learn how to manage time off requests on the SkyTab Workforce mobile app.

---

The time off feature allows employees to submit requests to their employer. After review, the employer can approve or decline based on business requirements.

Accessing Time Off

When logged in to the Workforce mobile app under your employer profile, navigate to More Menu > Time Off Requests.

As a Schedule Manager, you will receive a notification when an employee submits a time off request.

The Time Off Dashboard lists all requests. Tap the relevant option to filter on a specific status. To quickly identify requests that require decisions, filter on 'Pending.'

Select a Pending request to reveal details. Decide by selecting Approve or Decline.

Where the requested dates impact existing published and draft shifts for the employee, these shift details are displayed by tapping on the shifts hyperlink.

Where the requested dates have also been requested by other employees, these employees are displayed by tapping on the workers hyperlink. The employee will also show here if they have previous requests for those dates.

Once a request has been approved, you can change the status to Declined. Additionally, you can choose to Delete Request. To reveal these options, tap the three vertical dots icon in the top right of the screen when in the details screen.

To delete a request from the dashboard view, swipe left to reveal 'Delete' and confirm deletion once prompted to proceed.

Occasionally, you may need to create a time off request on behalf of an employee. A typical scenario is when an employee approaches the employer at the last minute with an urgent request, which was not foreseen and cannot be prevented.

From the timecard dashboard, select "+" to initiate a new request.

Once the request has been created on behalf of the employee, you are allowed to review the request before approving it. This extends to identifying other employees who have pending or approved time off for one or more dates requested.

Once the request has been reviewed, select Approve to finalize. The employee will receive a notification that the request has been approved.
