In the Time Away feature, you can review your available time away balances, request time away from work for a single day or a range of dates, and view past, pending, or future requests. When you make a time away from work request, you specify a reason, such as vacation time or sick leave. The reason you select determines how you are paid for the time. It can also determine whether you are allowed to request the time away from work, or not, because the app tracks how much time you've taken away from work for each reason. It then compares this amount against how much time you are allowed.
