How to Request Time Off

In this article, we’ll guide you through the quick and easy process of requesting time off.

Whether you’re planning a vacation, need personal time, or require leave for any other reason, submitting your request correctly ensures smooth communication and scheduling.

Step 1: Navigate to the Scheduler

Log in to your Pabau account, and in the left sidebar menu, go to Team, then click on "Schedule".

Step 2: Select a Slot for the Time Off Request

Once you access the Scheduler, first ensure you have selected the correct location (if your clinic has multiple locations) and the appropriate date for your time off request.

Next, locate your name in the staff list on the left side of the Scheduler. Find an empty time slot on the chosen date - this is similar to how you would select a slot when creating a shift.

Click on the empty slot to proceed.

Step 3: Initiate the Leave Request

After selecting the empty slot, a modal window will open. At the top of this window, beside the shift type, hover over the icon labeled “Leave”.

Click on the ''Leave'' icon to open the leave request form.

Step 4: Submit Your Time Off Request

In the leave request form, select the leave type, confirm the location, and specify the start and end dates for your time off.

Once you’ve entered all the necessary details, a list of all requested days will appear, along with the total number of days.

NOTE: If there are appointments scheduled within your selected dates, the system will alert you. You’ll need to reschedule those appointments before submitting your time off request.

After submitting your request, it will appear in the Scheduler under your name, displaying an icon that corresponds to the leave type. The request will then be ready for review by the administrators.

Once action is taken, the status will update accordingly — if approved, a blockout will automatically be created in your calendar for the requested dates. If declined, the request will be marked as such in the system.
