Request time off

A request puts time off, overtime or a remote day on the schedule, so everyone knows who is away. Requests appear on the schedule as soon as you create them.

Add a request

1. Open Human resources and find your row on the schedule.
2. Drag across the days you’ll be away. For a single day, click its cell.
3. In the dialog, check the type (1). It starts as Vacation; click it to pick another.
4. Add a note in Description (2) if it helps, such as where you’ll be.
5. Check the first day (3) and the last day (4). Click a date to change it.
6. Click Create (5), or press Ctrl Enter.

Dragging across two days in Sofia's row, adding a note and creating the vacation.

The dialog’s title follows the type, such as Create Vacation or Create Sick, and starts with the name of the person the request is for. Attach a file, such as a doctor’s note, with the paperclip at the bottom.

You can also add requests with the keyboard: click into the schedule, move with the arrow keys, hold Shift with ← or → to select several days, and press Enter.

Change or delete a request

Click a request’s bar on the schedule to open its menu.

The request page

The request page shows the type and dates, the description, attachments and the activity feed. You can comment there, for example to agree on who covers for you.

The sidebar on the right holds the Type, the Employee, the Department and the first and last day (Date and Due date). You can change all of them except the employee. Close the page with × or Esc.

Note

Requests go on the schedule straight away; there is no approval step in Maxint Work. If your team approves time off, agree on it in the request’s comments, or ask a team lead before you add it.
