From within the window, the employee must enter the date, requested hours, and select the Type of time off from the drop-down (i.e. Personal Hours, PTO, Sick Time, etc.). Optionally, the employee may enter a note to accompany the time off request. When ready, click the Submit button and the request will be sent to the PTO Approver for review and approval.
