How Do I Request an Hourly Leave?

If your Admin has enabled the hourly option on a Leave Policy, you can request leave in 1-hour, 30-minute, or 15-minute blocks instead of a full or half-day. Useful for appointments, errands, or anything that doesn't justify a half-day off.

Dashboard (Email and Google Workspace)

1. Sign in at app.vacationtracker.io.
2. Click Request Leave on the left.
3. Pick the Leave Type with the hourly option indicated in the dropdown.
4. Pick the date, choose the start and end hours, and add a reason if required.
5. Click Request Leave.

Microsoft Teams

1. Open the Vacation Tracker chat (left sidebar in Teams) or use the Request Leave tab in the Vacation Tracker app.
2. Type Request Leave in the chatbot and send.
3. Pick the Leave Type with the hourly option indicated.
4. Pick the date and the hours you'll be away.
5. Click Submit.

You can also use the Request Leave buttons on the My Profile and Vacation Tracker Overview tabs.

Slack

1. Type /vacation anywhere in Slack — a public channel, a private channel, a group DM, your own DM, or anyone else's DM. You don't need to send it to the Vacation Tracker bot specifically; the slash command works in any conversation and the response is only visible to you.
2. Pick the Request Leave option from the menu Vacation Tracker offers.
3. Pick the Leave Type with the hourly option indicated.
4. Pick the date and the hours you'll be away.
5. Click Submit.

Editing or Cancelling After Submission

If you need to change the hours after submitting, you can edit a pending or upcoming hourly leave the same way as any other leave — see How Do I Edit My Pending or Upcoming Leave? To cancel, see How Do I Cancel My Upcoming Leave Request?
