Request Time Off (PTO)
Use the Request Time Off feature to send an absence request to a supervisor. All time off requests are displayed in the Time Off 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 Time Off Queue at the bottom of the HR Manager calendar.
Open the Request Time Off Dialog
Select the 
Request Time Off icon from either the Timeclock section of the Edge Cloud Home ribbon bar, or the Appointments section of your HR Manager Calendar ribbon bar.
Identify the Employee
Select the employee requesting time off. While most employees send time off requests for themselves, supervisors might use this feature, for example, to notify everyone when someone calls in sick.
Enter Details
Enter the date and time you are requesting, and select the reason for the request (from your Calendar Category editor). You can optionally type a message of explanation, if required by your office protocol.
Confirm
Time Off Request vs Paid Time Off Benefits - Because an employee absence may be either paid or unpaid, the HR Manager Time Off Request feature only affects the HR Manager calendar. To be accounted for as paid time off in both the employee's HR Manager Vacation window and their Edge Cloud time sheet, the absence must be entered into Timeclock as Vacation and/or Sick hours.
