Time Off Request

All time off requests are sent electronically to the Appointment Queue at the bottom of the HR Manager calendar, where administrators can accept or deny them. The employee is notified via Edge Messaging when the request is either accepted or denied. Accepted requests will appear as scheduled events in your HR Manager calendar. You can review all requests, including accepted and denied requests, from the Appointment Queue the bottom of the HR Manager calendar.
