How to use Time Off

6 short guides, one per feature. Leave tracking that lives in Slack — no spreadsheets, no HR portal.

  1. How to install Time Off in your Slack workspace

    One admin adds it and picks an approver. That's the entire setup.

  2. How to request time off in Slack

    Type /timeoff, pick your dates, submit. Your approver gets a DM with Approve and Deny buttons.

  3. How to approve or deny a leave request

    Requests arrive as a DM with two buttons. One tap decides it and balances update instantly.

  4. How to see who's off today

    A daily digest posts to a channel of your choice, and /whosoff answers on demand.

  5. How to set up leave balances and accrual

    Annual or monthly accrual, carryover caps and per-type allowances, configured once.

  6. How to request a half-day

    Half-days count as 0.5 rather than being rounded up to a full day.
