Time Off

Configuration

Admins configure time off in Settings -> Time Off. These settings determine request behavior, allowance calculations, workload availability, company holidays, and team visibility.

Time-Off Types

Type settings
Name
The label users choose when booking time off.
Description
Optional help text for the policy.
Appearance

Color and optional emoji used for badges, timeline bars, calendar lanes, and filters.

Max days per year

Annual allowance for the type. Set 0 for uncapped types such as sick leave.

Requires approval
Controls whether requests start pending or approved.
Counts toward allowance

Controls whether approved and pending days reduce remaining balance.

Sensitive

Hides details from users who should not see private leave information, including in pending approvals and reviewed approval history.

Minimum tenure
Requires a member to be employed for a period before eligibility.
Cooldown
Adds a waiting period before the type can be requested again.

Editing and Archiving

Edit time-off types when policies change. Archive old types instead of deleting history. Used types cannot be treated like unused configuration because historical requests still need their original meaning.

New time-off types do not count toward allowance by default. If you turn on Counts toward allowance while leaving Max days per year at 0, Supervisible warns that the type will draw down the shared allowance without adding any days to it. Use that combination only when the type should consume the shared PTO pool.

Company Holidays

Company holidays are organization-wide closures, such as winter shutdowns or office-wide days away. Add them once instead of booking a request for every member.

Company holiday settings
Name and dates

The closure name and date range. Supervisible counts working days, not weekend days.

Icon

Optional emoji used for the closure in settings, timelines, year calendar, and allowance context.

Marks everyone away
When enabled, capacity drops to zero for the closure dates.
Deducts from allowance

When enabled, the closure charges working days against a selected allowance-counting time-off type.

If a company holiday crosses a year boundary, Supervisible splits the deduction by year because each year's allowance is calculated separately.

Public Holidays

Admins can configure public-holiday countries. Public holidays appear as local holiday context in time-off views and can be used for Slack reminders when configured.

Use public holidays for country calendars. Use company holidays for closures that should affect organization capacity or allowance math.

OOO Slack Channel

When Slack is connected, admins can choose an OOO channel, enable or disable OOO announcements, and enable weekly OOO digest behavior. Approved time off can post automatic announcements to that channel.

The scheduled weekly digest can include people leaving soon over the next 7, 15, or 30 days. It can also include people who recently returned over the last 7, 15, or 30 days, or hide that section entirely.

Bulk Booking

Bulk upload is useful for importing company holidays, planned office closures, or historical time off. Review imported rows before relying on workload calculations.

Workload Impact

Approved requests create availability changes. That means time-off settings directly affect Home, My Workload, Team Workload, Allowances, Staffing, and project staffing decisions.
