Request Time Off
This card provides instructions to employees to request time off.
Managers should review Enter Time Off on Behalf of Employees for assistance.
There are a number of types of time off and leave an employee can request in MyDay. Please see the MyDay Time Off & Leave Guide for an overview of available options and their eligibility.
If requesting a day off in the future, we recommend first reviewing your Time Off Balance "as of" the specific date to ensure you have enough hours to accommodate the request.
There is a new interface to time off and leave. If you do not see time off and Leave on your Menu please follow the following Guru card to re-add it to your home page Add Time Off And Leave to Menu
