Only the main manager and managers with permission to BOTH “Approve \/ Deny Requests” AND “Change Company Settings” can add time off blocks. \u00a0<\/p>\n

If you do not see this option please contact the account main manager.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You can prevent employees from entering time off requests entirely on the SETTINGS<\/strong>> Global Employee Permissions<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n

But if you let employees request time off, you can also set certain dates to be blocked – so that they cannot ask for time off on those dates going forward.<\/p>\n

You can block time off requests for all employees (all Positions) or just employees who can work certain Positions. \u00a0<\/p>\n

So for instance, if you add a time off block for one Position “Cashier” on December 3, then any employee who is allowed to work the Cashier Position will not be able to request that date off going forward.<\/p>\n

You also can set a Rolling Block Window<\/a><\/strong> (ex. always requiring certain advanced notice and\/or not too far in the future.<\/p>\n
