Managing Your Time Off Requests
Overview
After you submit a time off request, you can track its status, read your manager's response, and update it if needed — all from the Time Off screen.
This article covers how to navigate your requests, read manager feedback, and make changes to a pending request.
To submit a new request, see → How to Request Time Off.

Your Request List
From the sidebar, tap Time Off to open your request list. Three tabs organize your requests by status:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Pending | Requests waiting for your manager's review — this is the default tab |
| Approved | Requests your manager has approved |
| Rejected | Requests your manager has denied |
Each card shows the start and end dates of the request. Tap View on any card to see the full details.
Viewing Request Details
Tapping View on a card opens a details popup showing:
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Start Date / End Date | The dates you requested |
| Reason | The reason you selected when submitting |
| Comment | The comment you wrote when submitting |
| Manager Comment | Feedback from your manager — only visible after they have approved or denied the request |

Manager comments appear only after a decision is made. If your request is still pending, the manager comment section will not be visible yet. Check back after you receive a notification.
Updating a Pending Request
If your request has not yet been reviewed, you can update it — change the dates, reason, or comment before your manager acts on it.
Find the request on the Pending tab
Tap Time Off from the sidebar. The Pending tab opens by default.
Tap Update
Each pending request card has an Update button. Tap it to open the request form pre-filled with your original submission.
- If the Update button is not visible, the 48-hour edit window has passed — see below.
Make your changes
Adjust the dates, reason, or comment as needed. The same rules apply as when submitting — dates must be in the future and all fields are required.
Tap Update
Your changes are saved and your manager receives a new notification to review the updated request.

The 48-Hour Edit Window
You can update a pending request only within 48 hours of submitting it. After that window closes, the Update button disappears.
If you need to change a request after 48 hours and it has not yet been reviewed, submit a new request instead. See → How to Request Time Off.
This applies to pending requests only. Approved and rejected requests cannot be updated regardless of timing.
Things to Know
You receive a notification when your manager decides. When your request is approved or denied, the app sends you a push notification. Open it to go directly to the request and read any comments your manager left.
Rejected requests cannot be resubmitted. If your request was denied, you cannot resubmit it. Create a new request with corrected dates or details if needed. See → How to Request Time Off.
Approved and rejected requests are read-only. Once your manager has taken action, the request is locked. Only pending requests within the 48-hour window can be changed.
