Time off
Request time off, see who's off on the calendar, and approve or decline requests - with an optional printed approval sheet.
Request time off
- Click + New Task > Request Time Off, or open the gear menu > Calendar and click + Request Time Off.
- Your time off balance shows at the top: hours allotted, used, pending and unused.
- Click a start date and an end date on the calendar, or click and drag across the days.
- For part of a single day, tick This is a partial day and choose how much.
- Pick a Reason and add notes if you like - only you and Managers can see them.
- Click Submit Request.

If too many people would be off at once, TEKTUNE warns you - you can still submit. You'll get a message in TEKTUNE - System when your request is approved or declined.
The time off calendar
Open the gear menu > Calendar. Approved time off is solid, pending is striped, and paid holidays, weekends and work events each have their own color. Click a block to see the request.

Approve or decline (Managers)
Managers - and anyone the shop made an approver - see new requests in their TEKTUNE - System chat. Click View Calendar in the message, or click the request on the calendar.
- Approve - the employee is notified. You can't approve your own request.
- Decline - add an optional note for the employee.
- Edit or Delete a pending or approved request - the employee is notified either way.
When the shop requires a signed sheet
If your shop turned on the Approval Sheet, Approve opens a window instead:
- Click Print approval sheet. It's filled in with the request.
- Have the employee sign it.
- Click Employee signed it - Approve.

The window can't be closed until the sheet has printed once. After that you can close it and come back later, and print more copies any time. If the request's dates, reason or notes change before it's approved, print a new sheet.
Administrator Managers set this up in Time Off settings.
