Update Your Calendar with Your Requests

Time-off request Request subtypes that employees use to request time off for vacation, illness or recovery, appointments, personal time, or other absences. Time-off requests can be configured to support many different employment scenarios. approvals can be synchronized with and shown in your Microsoft^® Outlook^® calendar.

Example: To book vacation time, submit your time-off request. When the request is approved, the confirmation email acts as a meeting request. When you accept, Outlook marks the approved time as an out-of-office Vacation.

Note: If enabled by your administrator, you can use a different method to synchronize a broad range of schedule events, including shifts, absences, and schedule tags A graphic on the schedule that identifies a specific characteristic that applies to a specific employee on a specific day. Not a shift or a pay code. Example: On call., to personal calendars in Microsoft Outlook, Apple^®, and Google Calendar™. See Synchronize Your Schedule with Personal Calendars for more information.

Submit your request as usual.
When your manager approves your request, you receive a notification by email. You can click tap the link to see details about the request or any changes to the request.

Important: If the request is for multiple non-consecutive days, you receive one notification for each non-consecutive time period.
If configured, you receive a second notification. This notification works like a meeting request. Click Tap one of the following:
- Accept — Add your approved time-off request to your Outlook calendar.
  - If a time-off request is for a full day, the entire day is reserved as an All-Day Event.
  - If a time-off request is for a half day or a number of hours, only the hours of the request are reserved as time off.
- Tentative (default if you don't respond) — Add the request to your calendar as a tentative acceptance.
- Decline — Do not add the request to your calendar. Your request remains approved; you can then cancel it.
