Time Off

Booking Time Off

Users can book time off from Home, their Time off member tab, the command menu, and Slack when the Slack app is installed.

My Time Off

Open your member page and choose Time off to see My time off. It focuses on the current year and combines your allowance summary, your local holiday context, and your request list beside the same member identity used for Workload.

Use My time off to:

  • Review requests awaiting approval, upcoming approved leave, and past or rejected request history.
  • Request new time off.
  • Open the inspector for request details, approval history, allowance context, and cancellation actions.
  • Review the allowance summary for the current year.
  • Add or change your country so local holidays appear beside your allowance context.

The allowance strip at the top is linked to the list. Selecting a pending balance opens the pending request, and selecting the allowance cards opens the allowance breakdown.

Requests are grouped into Awaiting approval, In progress, Awaiting decision, Upcoming, and History. History stays collapsed by default so past and rejected requests do not crowd the current planning view.

Request Fields

Time-off request
Type
Vacation, sick leave, parental leave, public holiday, or any configured type.
Dates
Start and end date for the request.
Duration

Full-day requests reduce availability to zero for those working days. Partial availability can be represented when configured.

Reason
Optional context. Leave it blank when there is nothing useful to add.
Status
Pending, approved, or rejected.

Sensitive time-off types can restrict who sees details such as type name, appearance, or reason. People who can review the request do not automatically receive sensitive-type access; if they are not allowed to see the details, pending and reviewed approval rows use a neutral private label instead.

Approval Behavior

Each time-off type controls whether approval is required.

  • If approval is required, the request starts pending and notifies reviewers.
  • If approval is not required, the request is approved immediately.
  • Approved requests reduce workload availability.
  • Rejected requests do not reduce availability.
  • Approvers see the Approvals tab when requests are waiting for them.
  • Pending requests that have already started or ended are treated as resolution work: approvers record them as taken or mark them as not taken.

Editing Requests

Editing rules depend on request status and role. Users can update their own editable future requests. Managers and admins can review an authorized member's history from the same Time off tab; approval work remains in Approvals.

When a user changes their own approved future time off, the request returns to Awaiting approval if the time-off type requires approval.

If an approved request changes, workload availability and calendar sync should be treated as affected data.

Deleting Requests

The creator, their manager, or an admin can withdraw pending requests. Approved future requests can also be cancelled by those users. Approved past requests can only be deleted by someone with approval access, and rejected requests cannot be deleted.

Deleting an approved request restores availability for the affected dates.

When No Policy Exists

If the organization has not configured time-off types yet, users cannot book time from My time off. The empty state points admins to Settings -> Time Off so they can enable time off and create the first policy types.

Slack Booking

With Slack installed, users can run /supervisible timeoff to open a request modal in Slack. The app checks for overlaps and sends confirmation after creation.

Google Calendar

When a user connects Google Calendar, approved full-day time off can create an out-of-office event on that user's calendar. Part-time requests do not create OOO events.
