How do I use Time off in Simployer One? 

Time off is where you manage vacation, sick leave, parental leave and other leave types in Simployer One. From the My Time off page, you can request leave, monitor your leave balances, follow the status of leave requests and review your time off in different views. 

The Time off page has three tabs: My overview, Leave schedule and Statistics. Each tab provides a different way to view and manage your leave information. 

Note

How do I use My overview in Time off? 

My overview is the default tab when you open My Time off. It gives you a quick summary of your leave balances and recent Leave activity. You can also start a new time off request from this tab.

What happens if a time off request overlaps a restricted date? 

If you submit a request that overlaps a restricted date, Simployer One displays a warning that the request overlaps with existing events. You can still submit the request. 

How do I use the timeline view in Leave schedule?

The Leave schedule tab shows employees' time off on a timeline. Switch between Grouped view (per department) and Individual view (per person) to compare leave and identify overlapping absence. Use the status filters to narrow what is shown.
