How do I Manage Accruals and Balances?

  • Unit: Indicates whether time off is tracked in days or hours.

  • Used: Shows the amount of time off already taken (e.g., "164 hours used").

  • Arrow Icon: Tap to expand and view full details in a side panel.

 

How do I Use the Date Filter + Requests Section?

    • Fields include: Time Off Category, Status, Type, Period, Duration
    • Actions include: view 👁️, approve ✅, reject ❌, delete 🗑️
