How to Request Time Off

To request time off you will need to complete the following steps in order.

  1. Check the Builder Vacation Calendar in your Outlook to make sure there are not already 2 people scheduled off.
  1. If there is an available spot open on the Builder Vacation Calendar, add yourself to it using your name and either OOTO or Vacation and mark it as a full day.
    • Example: “Lindsay – Vacation” OR “Lindsay – OOTO”
    • For half-days or partial days, mark it as “Your Name – Out at 3PM”, or “Your Name – In at 3PM”
    • Note: Only 2 people from each team may be scheduled off at the same time.
  1. Now you will need to head over to Workday to submit the request. In your Applications section, click on “Pay/Time Off/Absence”.
  1. Then Click on the blue link “Time Off” under the Request section.
  1. The next screen will show you a calendar that you will be able to select the days that you want to request off.
  1. If you are doing a full day absence, and you have multiple days to request off, simply select each of the days you need to request. A blue highlight will appear over the number when selected.
  1. Now in the bottom left corner you will click the orange button that updates with the number of days selected and “Request Time Off”
  1. A pop up will appear with some options. Make sure you are selecting the appropriate PTO option, and enter 8 in the daily quantity field.
    • If you are wanting to work a partial day, enter in the hours you will not be present. For example, if I leave work 2 hours early, I will put a 2 in the Daily Quantity field.
    • Note: Each time you change the “Type” field, you will need to re-enter your daily hours.
  1. Then click on the Submit button, and you are done.
