Time Off

Configuration

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

Time-Off Types

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

Public Holidays

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

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, Time Off Overview, Command Center, and project staffing decisions.
