Enter Time Off on Behalf of Employees

This card provides instructions for managers.

Employees should review Request Time Off for instructions to submit their requests.

When an employee is absent from work without having submitted a Time Off Request and in emergency situations managers have the ability enter time off on their behalf in MyDay. Please refer to the MyDay Time Off & Leave Guide for an overview of the different time off "types" and their eligibility, such as Emergency Instance or NYC Safe & Sick Leave. Managers also have the ability to enter Unpaid Absences for their employees, when needed.
