Time off reasons

Time off reasons are optional pieces of information that employees can include with each time off request to further explain or clarify the time off request. Presented in a lookup, time off reasons are specific to each time off type. They are designed to help you further track the time off requests. Time off reasons are optional unless a time off type has been configured to require employees to select one when submitting time off requests.

For example, if an ELECTION time off type has been configured for when employees leave work to vote, the time off reason could be either FEDERAL or STATE so that employees can track the type of election when they submit a time off request.

Time-off reasons are presented in the Reason field when employees submit time off requests. The field is always visible, but it is only mandatory that employees make a selection when the Reason Required check box was selected for the time off type.
