Control When Employees Can Submit Absence/Availability Requests

Our time and attendance solution offers administrators control over when employees can request absences and submit availability changes. This feature helps businesses maintain schedule stability by limiting last-minute requests that could disrupt workforce planning.

2. Go to MANAGE MY DEPARTMENTS
3. Pick the department you want to manage, click EDIT
4. In the setup, you can allow
   1. Anytime: Employees can request time off without restrictions, even for the current or next day.
   2. Only [X] Weeks in Advance: Employees can only submit absence requests starting from the selected number of weeks into the future. For example, if set to “2 weeks,” employees cannot submit time-off requests within the upcoming 14 days.
