How Do I Request Time Off?

How Do I Request Time Off?

Introduction

This guide will walk you through the steps to request time off in the guHRoo system, whether you're an employee or a manager. You'll learn how to submit your time-off request, choose the correct policy, and make sure your request is properly submitted for approval.

Steps/Procedures

For Employees:

1. Access the TIMEOFF Widget

    • From your Dashboard, find  the TIMEOFF widget.

    • Select View All Requests to see your time-off options.

                   


2. Add a New Request
On the next page, click the ADD REQUEST button located in the top-right corner of the screen.










3. Fill Out Your Time-Off Request

    • Use the calendar to choose the dates you want to take off.

    • Specify how many hours you'll be taking off.

    • Select the appropriate policy that applies to your request (e.g., PTO, Bereavement, Sick Time, or Floating Holiday).

    • You may leave comments to provide more details about your request.




Submit Your Request

    • Once all the details are filled out, click SUBMIT REQUEST to finalize your time-off request.

            

For Managers/Admins:

Managers and admins follow the same steps as employees to request time off. However, note that you may have access to additional features, but the process for submitting your own time-off request remains the same.

Troubleshooting

  • I can't find the ADD REQUEST button: Make sure you are on the correct page after clicking "View Requests." The button should be in the top-right corner.

  • The wrong policy options are showing: If you're not seeing the right time-off policies (like PTO or Sick Time), check with your HR administrator to ensure your profile is set up correctly.

  • Submitted request not showing: Refresh the page after submitting, or check under "View Requests" to confirm your request has been recorded.
