How employees submit time off requests in Slack or the Employee Portal

S
Written by Support

Employees can submit time off requests through the Planbase Slack app or through the Employee Portal.

Using the Planbase Slack App

  • Getting started: Type help in the Planbase app to view leave-management commands.

  • Adding leave: Type add leave. You will be prompted for:

    • Requested dates

    • Start and end times for each day you will not be working

    • The time-off policy (for example PTO, bereavement, sick leave)

Leave types (PTO, sick, etc.) are configured by your administrator and may vary by company.

Using the Employee Portal (web)

  1. Open the Employee Portal.

  2. In Your Schedule, click Submit Time Off.

  3. Choose the date range, leave type, start time, and duration.

  4. Add more entries if you need multiple days or blocks.

  5. Review any policy messages (notice period, balance, etc.), then click Submit request.

You can also change an existing shift to time off by clicking Manage Your Schedule > Change to time off.

Check balances from the flight icon in the portal header, or see Time-off balances.

For availability and schedule-change requests (not just leave), see Managing Your Schedule: Time Off, Availability and Schedule Changes.
