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.
Tip
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.
