Employees may be unable to work for a variety of reasons. In some cases, this time off will need to be recorded on their timesheet and deducted from their entitlements (leave). In other cases, you will just want to keep a note of this time off so you do not accidentally schedule them to work (unavailability). 

Depending on the account settings configured by your Admin, employees may be able to submit time off requests for approval, or requests can be submitted on their behalf by a Manager.

To manage leave and unavailability, head to Time Off > Requests in the navigation bar.
