Time off approvals help you track and manage your team's time off.

The Account Owner and the Admins can enable time off approvals in Team settings > Time off > Time off approvals.

When time off approval is enabled, team members must Request time off instead of creating it directly. Requests are sent to the assigned People Manager. Requestors can see who will receive their request in the time-off menu.

If the person's Manager is online in Float, they will receive an in-app notification to approve or decline the request. If they do not check the notification within 15 minutes or are not logged into Float, they will also receive an email notification. Additionally, if they are using the Float mobile app, the notification will appear there as well.

Time off requests show in the notification bar with the Pending indicator to distinguish them from other notifications.
​

The Account Owner, Admins, and People Managers can also navigate to the Request tab in the notification bar, which is dedicated to pending time off approvals only. 

To approve or decline time off, click on the request to see its details. This is also where a Manager can adjust the request details and add a note to clarify their decision.

Once approved, the time off is confirmed on the Schedule. Clicking the time off record displays the requester’s and approver's information, along with timestamps. The Pending indicator is removed from the notifications.
​

Once the request is approved, the requester receives an in-app notification. If they are not online, they are also notified by email.

Similarly, if the request is declined, the requester is notified.

Approved or declined time off can be edited or deleted as needed by both the requestor and the approver. It can also be adjusted by the Account Owner and the Admins.
