How to Request Time Off

Are you ill, or need to take some time away from work and recharge? Check out this article to learn how to request time offs through the platform.

Making a Request

• Log in to your account and select Time off from the left-side menu.
• If you don’t have any time off requests, this page will be empty. To add a new time off request select the [+ New Request] button at the top of the page.

Step 1. Specify the dates

• Please specify Start and End date

• If you will take time off starting from the second half of the day, please select Start from second half of the day. That means that only 0.5 days will be added instead of 1 day.
• If you need to take only half a day on the last day of your time off, please select End in first half of the day. That means that only 0.5 days will be added instead of 1 day.

Step 2. Choose a Reason for your time off request

There are multiple Reasons:

• Vacation, Sick leave, Parental leave, Caregiver leave, Educational leave, Marriage leave, Military training assembly, Military medical examination, Military leave, Sabbatical, Civic Duties, Religious observance, Bereavement.

Step 3. Provide a description and supporting documents (if required).

• You can leave a description for the time off request that you are creating (this step is optional). You can also attach a proof document for time offs, such as a doctor's note. This step is optional, but may be required by your employer.

Step 4. Click Submit to formally request time off via the Remofirst Platform.

Viewing your Requests 

A new time off request will be added into the Time Off tab. 

Once a request is created, its status will be set to pending in our platform. While the status is pending, you can edit and/or cancel this request.

• To edit, click on a request, make your changes, and then click the green "Update" button to confirm.
• To cancel the request, click on the red "Cancel request" button. You can also cancel approved time off requests if they have not yet been taken.

3. Once your request has been finalised and submitted, please wait for approval from your employer.

• Once your request has been approved or rejected, your request's status will change to "Approved". 
• If your request is not accepted, then its status will change to "Rejected". Cancelled requests will have the status "Cancelled".
  • Time offs that have been completed will have the status "Taken" - this status change will happen automatically the day after the requested leave period has passed.
