To help you make the right request when you need to be absent for a specific period, here's the difference between managing availability and requesting time off.


1- Availability requests

If you wish to notify your manager of your new school schedule or a period of the day when you will be unavailable each week (e.g. every Monday afternoon) go to the "Availability" tab.

Click here to consult the article explaining how to send your unavailabilities to your manager.

* Please note that it is your unavailabilities that must be added, since the system considers you being available at all times.

2- Time off requests

If you'd like to submit a request for an absence, such as a sick day, a medical appointment or vacations, we recommend you submit a time off request. Simply go to the "Time off" tab and select the "Time off request" sub-section.
