How to extend or shorten your time off#
For: Shift worker You’ll need: A leave request of your own that’s still ‘Pending’ or ‘Confirmed’.
Still ill on day two? Back a day early? Change the end date of the absence you already have instead of filing a second request. Shiftavo works out the new hours, updates your balance, and tells your manager.
Change the end date#
In the header, open Planning and click ‘My availability’.
In the ‘Unavailable’ section, click the absence.
Click ‘Change end date’.
In the ‘New end date’ field, pick the last day you’ll be away.
Click ‘Save’.
Tap More → ‘Availability’.
Tap the absence.
Tap ‘Change end date’.
Pick the last day you’ll be away and confirm.
Pick the last day you’re off, not the day you’re back.
What happens next#
Coming back earlier, or changing a request your manager hasn’t reviewed yet, takes effect immediately.
Adding days to an absence that’s already approved depends on the type of leave:
- Sick leave
The extra days are added straight away and your manager is notified. You stay marked as away the whole time, so nobody schedules you.
- Vacation and most other leave
The extra days go to your manager as a new request, in ‘Pending’. Your original time off is unaffected while they decide.
Either way your balance is recalculated for the new dates — you’re never charged for days you took back.
Verify it worked#
The absence shows its new range. If the extra days went for approval instead, you’ll see a second entry marked ‘Pending’ covering just those days.
