Time off types and balances

You start with Vacation, Sick, Personal and Unpaid. Change them in Settings, under Time off types.

For each type

• Name: what your crew taps, and what the messages say.
• Days each person starts the year with: the starting balance.
• Words that mean this type: which everyday words pick it when someone types them, for example "sick" or "dentist".
• Keep a balance: on for types that count down. Unpaid starts with it off.

Tap Save under the type you changed.

Add, hide or make default

• Add a type at the bottom, for example Bereavement, with its days.
• Hide a type you don't use. Past requests keep it.
• Make default picks the type for a request that doesn't say one.

Balances

Change one person's days on the Crew page. See Change someone's days or balance.

Balances are yours to set. Crew Off doesn't apply any law about vacation pay or sick leave and doesn't build days up over time. It counts whole working days: a Monday to Sunday request uses five days when your crew works Monday to Friday. Balances are per calendar year.

Someone can ask for more days than they have left. Their page and the approver's page both say how many days over, and the approver decides.
