If an employee would still like to submit a PTO request or off-block request for a day that has reached the department’s request limit, the employee will see the following notification:
This notification does not mean that the request cannot be submitted or will be denied — it is meant to inform you that there is a large volume of requests for the selected day(s) and may lead to the request being denied if safe staffing is a concern. To submit a request anyways, select the “Submit Anyway” button at the bottom right corner.
Employees can also utilize the calendar view to see which days have more requests:
The red triangle means the requests limit has been met; additional requests may not be approved.
The yellow triangle means requests have been submitted but the limit has not yet been met. Requests are still likely to be approved without issue.
The grey circle means no requests are allowed for this day.
The purple block means you are already scheduled for a shift.
The grey circle check mark means your time off request has been submitted.
The green circle check mark means your time off request has been approved.
If there is no triangle, then there have been no requests submitted for this day and there is a high chance of the request being approved.
Reminders for staff
Only six off blocks are permitted per 6-week schedule. The usage of more than six off blocks will lead to requests being denied or viewed as a lower priority.
If PTO is utilized, please enter the correct number of hours to be utilized. PTO may be utilized in lieu of picking up shifts to meet FTE requirements.
