How do I request time off?

Written for
  • Employee
  • Planner
  • Admin

Short answer

Open Schedule in the menu. Under Request time off, choose the type and the first and last day, then choose Send request. An Admin or Planner decides on it under Schedule, in Time-off requests.

How an employee asks for time off

  1. Open Schedule in the menu.
  2. Under Request time off, choose the type: Holiday, Personal or Other.
  3. Choose the First day and the Last day. Time off is requested in whole days.
  4. Choose Send request. The request shows as Awaiting approval.

While it is awaiting approval, you can take it back with Withdraw request. Once it is decided, it shows as Approved or Rejected, with the reason if it was rejected. The answer also appears under Updates.

How a manager decides

Requests are listed under Schedule, in Time-off requests. Choose Approve, or write a reason and choose Reject. If the person already has published shifts in the period, Regsta asks what should happen to each one before the time off is approved: give it to a colleague, cancel it, or keep it without a person for now.

Admins and Planners can decide on time-off requests.

There is no sickness type, on purpose: Regsta does not ask for health information, and a request has no free-text field. Handle sickness the way you do today. Regsta does not keep holiday balances either.
