Just go to the Schedule tab and click on \u201cDaily View\u201d or \u201cCalendar View.\u201d  Choose an employee, and the appropriate date.  Right-click, and<br \/>\nselect \u201cAdd Time Off.\u201d  Then, choose a reason, like paid training or an unpaid personal day.  You can also click on \u201cTime Off\u201d in the sidebar, choose a reason, and drag it onto your schedule.<\/p>\n<p>But you can also allow your employees to choose their own days off.  To activate this feature, go to the Manage tab, click on \u201cEmployee Access,\u201d and then simply check \u201cAllow employees to request time off.\u201d  You can also specify how far ahead you\u2019ll accept these requests\u2014for instance, \u201c9\u201d pay periods.  Then, click OK to save.<\/p>\n<p>Employees can use any web browser, or our mobile app, to request time off.  They\u2019ll click \u201cTime Off Requests\u201d on the main menu, for a list of their existing requests.  Then, they\u2019ll click \u201cRequest Time Off,\u201d and choose a date\u2014or a start date and an end date, to request several days in a row.  They can ask for the whole day, or they can choose a few hours.  They\u2019ll specify the Reason for their request, and add any Notes.  And then, they\u2019ll click Submit.  In this case, I asked for four days, so Snap Schedule generated four separate requests.  The hourglass icon means the requests are \u201cpending\u201d; the employee is waiting for me to approve or reject them.  Employees can also reopen a pending request, and \u201cCancel\u201d it.<\/p>\n<p>Come back to Daily View or Calendar View, and you\u2019ll see each time-off request.  Notice: assigned days off have a solid outline, but time-off requests have a dotted outline.  They\u2019re both color-coded: in this case, red for a paid vacation.  The orange exclamation point means that this request is pending.<\/p>\n<p>Right-click, and you can Approve the request.  The icon changes to a green checkmark, and a solid-bordered time-off assignment is generated automatically.  You can also right-click and Reject a request; the icon turns red, and there is no time-off assignment.  If you right-click and choose \u201cClear Time-off Request,\u201d the request simply disappears.  You can even right-click and \u201cAdd\u201d a new time-off request; just choose the appropriate Reason.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you can double-click on a time-off request to see more details.  <\/p>\n<p>You can also click on \u201cSchedule Outlook\u201d on the toolbar, and then click on \u201cPending Time Off Requests\u201d underneath the graph, for a list of all of the requests that need your attention.  Double-click on a request, to reach this same detail page.<\/p>\n<p>Here, you can review the employee\u2019s scheduled shift for that day, any assigned time off, and their time-off request.  You\u2019ll see whether they asked for the whole day off, or just part of the day, and how many hours they requested.  If they requested paid time off, you\u2019ll even see how many hours they\u2019ll be paid for.  Then, you can Approve or Reject their request, or simply Remove it entirely.  <\/p>\n<p>You can even make changes to the request; for instance, you can allow them to take just some of the hours they asked for.  Add any Notes to explain your decision, and then click \u201cApprove.\u201d  When you\u2019re done, click OK.<\/p>\n<p>When your employee logs in with their web browser or our mobile app, they can click on \u201cRequest Time Off\u201d to review all of their requests\u2026 and see which ones have been accepted, which were rejected, and which ones are still pending.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, if you assign a new shift which conflicts with an approved request, Snap Schedule will automatically flag the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for watching.
