How To Request Time Off

▪Select the Requests menu.

▪Select the Time Off Requests menu.

You may view your Time Banks at any time by clicking on the Time Bank icon.

▪Click on the Actions icon and select New Request.

The Time Off Request menu will open.

1.Select the applicable Attendance Code from the drop-down list. For a vacation request select the Attendance Code associated with the OESA Vacation Time Bank.

     When an OESA Attendance Code is selected the OESA code hint appears.

2.Select the length of time (Select Hours) required for the request. Select Full Day or Partial Day.

Full Day

If you select Full Day, the system will automatically unbook the full length of the shift for the scheduled date(s) selected and will remove the time from the bank if applicable.

If you select a range of dates, some scheduled and some not, the system can be configured to add the Attendance Code with Zero Hours on the days that are not scheduled so that you will not be called during that period to fill in for someone else.

If you select Full Day and complete the Hours section as well, the system will add the requested number of hours to each day you select, whether scheduled or not, and will remove the time from the bank if applicable. Regardless of the number of hours selected, the system will unbook the full length of the shift. For example, if you select four hours off an eight hour shift, the system will unbook your shift, create and unfilled shift for eight-hours and add the Attendance Code with four hours to your schedule.

Partial Day

Check with your manager to see if Partial Day requests are available for your facility.

3.   A Payout Amount should only be used if your system is configured to use dollar and hour options for the Time Banks. Please see your manager for the best method to use for your facility.
