How to request a half-day
Half-days are handled properly: a half-day costs 0.5 against your balance rather than being rounded up to a whole one. That sounds minor until you've spent a year explaining to a spreadsheet why a dentist appointment shouldn't cost a full day of annual leave.

Steps
Type /timeoff
The same command as any other request.
Choose the day and mark it as a half-day
Rather than selecting a full day.
Submit
Your approver gets the usual DM with Approve and Deny buttons.
Check your balance afterwards
It should reduce by 0.5, not 1.
Worth knowing
- Half-days interact correctly with the rest of the system — they're excluded from weekend and public-holiday counting like any other request.
- This is the detail spreadsheet-based tracking gets wrong most often, and it compounds across a year and a team.
