Vacation Management

Open Management, then select Vacation Management.

Review a request

1. Filter the request list by status when needed.
2. Select a request to review the Staff member and full date range.
3. Check for scheduling implications and existing Manager Schedule conflicts.
4. Approve or reject the request.
5. Add a useful review note when appropriate.

Filter vacation requests and review pending or completed decisions.

Review the staff member and dates before confirming a vacation decision.

An approved request immediately becomes the vacation source used by schedule candidates and automatic schedule generation.

Manager Schedule conflicts

When an approved vacation overlaps a Manager working shift, the system requires an explicit date-level confirmation during Manager Schedule import or manual editing. The confirmation is recorded. If the vacation approval or date range later changes, an older confirmation may be invalidated and must not be assumed to remain active.

Manage blackout periods

Use blackout periods for dates when vacation requests should not be accepted.

1. Choose the start and end date.
2. Enter a concise reason.
3. Save the blackout.

Delete a blackout only when the restriction is no longer required. Staff can see blackout dates but cannot manage them.

Create a blackout period or review existing restricted dates.
