Requests for time off arrive under Rota > Requests > Leave. Staff ask in the Paddl app under Time off, picking the days and, for a single day, whether it is all day, the morning or the afternoon.
Deciding
The To review view is what is waiting on you. Press Review on a request to open it at the side of the page. Before you decide it shows:
Their holiday allowance: hours left now, and hours left if you approve. If approving would take them over, it says by how much. Sick, unpaid and other leave does not come out of the allowance, and it says that instead.
What is on the rota: any shifts they hold during the leave.
Approve or decline, with a note if you want one; they see it with your decision. Approving does not take anybody off the rota, so change any clashing shifts afterwards. Paddl tells you how many there are when you approve.
Booking leave for somebody
Press Book leave when someone tells you in person, or for sickness. Pick the person, the type and the dates, and how much of the first and last day. Leave you book is approved as it is booked.
You never type hours. Paddl works them out from what the person normally works, so a day they never work costs them nothing from their allowance.
The rest of the tab
Who is off: the next four weeks, including requests not yet decided.
Upcoming, Past, and Declined and cancelled: everything already decided. You can cancel approved leave that has not finished yet, and the person is told.
Each person's allowance is set on their team profile. Their remaining holiday also shows in the panel that opens from their name anywhere in the rota; see A person at a glance.
Leave is a module. If the Leave tab is missing, the leave module is switched off for your business under Settings > Modules. Swaps and availability carry on without it.
