How to request time off#
For: Shift worker You’ll need: Nothing.
Request vacation, sick days, unpaid leave, or other leave from ‚My availability‘. Shiftavo creates a leave request from your entry and sends it to your manager for approval.
Create a leave block#
In the left sidebar, click ‚My availability‘.
Click ‚Add unavailable‘ (top-right).
In the ‚Type‘ dropdown, choose your leave type — ‚Vacation‘, ‚Sick‘, ‚Unpaid‘, or ‚Other‘.
Pick the date(s) and times.
Click ‚Save‘.
A leave request is created automatically and routed to your manager.
Tipp
Curious how much leave you’re entitled to? Your entitlement is set by your leave policy — see Leave policies.
Track approval#
The block shows up in the ‚Unavailable / leave‘ section of your ‚Overview‘ tab with its current status (pending, approved, rejected).
Verify it worked#
You see the new entry in the ‚Unavailable / leave‘ section, marked ‚Pending‘ until your manager reviews it.
