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.

Employees may vote during working hours on Election Day by using the Election Day Voting Time Off type, for up to 2 hours. Follow the Web Platform instructions below to request time off.

  • Date: Tuesday, November 5th
  • Type: "Election Day Voting Time Off"
