Requests

This window is where an employee will submit a schedule request that a manager will see while building schedules in Web Scheduler. There are three types of schedule requests:

• Time-off request - An employee may, for example, want to request one day of personal time or two days of vacation.

• Scheduling request - An employee may, for example, have an appointment and need to come in an hour later than scheduled or leave an hour early.

• Fixed scheduling request - An example would be an employee who isn’t available to work on Wednesdays or between 8 and 9 on Fridays.

Pending requests may also be viewed and requests that have not been approved or denied may even be deleted.

The ability to submit/view/delete requests must be enabled in Web Manager (Configuration > Preferences > Defaults > Request Entry).

Time-off Requests

1. Click the View button or Request button. If you clicked the Request button then skip to step 3. Otherwise continue with step 2.

3. Choose the Time-off Request tab.

7. Select the Leave code (the job code that this time-off should fall under) or select Unspecified.

If accruals are being tracked in TimeClock Plus then you may view your accrual balances by clicking the View Balances button.
