Time off
Time off is the register of everyone's leave: who is off, from when to when, for how many days, and why. Employees ask for time off through Approvals — usually from the Site Connect app — and once a request is approved it shows up here.

Where to find it
Menu: HR › Leave (under Leave) · Address: hub.siteconnect.ai/leavesWho can use it: Admins by default. Others need the Time off (leave) permission — see Roles and permissions. What each person sees depends on their permission scope, for example only their own team.
How a time-off request works
Your teamSite ConnectDecisionBlockedDone
- The employee asks
The employee submits a Leave request in Approvals — on the mobile app or in the web Approval inbox. They pick the leave type (Paid leave (deducts leave balance), Unpaid leave, Sick leave, Personal matters or Maternity), the dates and a reason.
- The approver decides
The approvers review and approve or reject it in Approvals. New workspaces come with the leave request template ready to use; you can change who approves it in Approval templates.
- It shows up here
When the request is approved, it appears on this list with the status Approved. A rejected request creates nothing here.
- The balance goes down
Paid leave is recorded as Annual leave, and its days are taken off the person's balance on Annual leave.
Days are counted from the dates. With the standard template, a request from Monday to Wednesday is 3 days — every calendar day in the range counts, weekends included. Half days (0.5) only apply when your leave template has a duration field. Paid leave can't be requested for more days than the person has left.
Read the list
The Leave management list shows, for each request:
- Employee and their department
- Leave type — Annual leave, Sick leave, Personal matters, Maternity, Unpaid or Other
- From date and To date (both included)
- Number of days
- Status — Pending approval, Approved or rejected
- Reason — what the employee wrote
Select a row to open the full approval request, with its approval steps and history.
Find requests
- Type in Search name / department / reason... to narrow the list.
- Add a filter for Leave type or Status.
- Save the filters you use often as a view.
Search and filters apply to the page of results you're viewing. To look further back, move to the next pages or show more rows per page.
Approve or reject from the list
Requests sent through Approvals arrive here already approved, so they're decided in Approvals, where the right people are notified. If a row is still Pending approval, the end of the row has two buttons: the tick (Approve) and the cross (Reject).
Good to know
- Approved time off is taken into account on the Scheduling board: if you try to give work to someone on approved leave on that day, the board flags it.
- Public and company holidays are managed separately on Holidays — they're not leave requests.
- Only Annual leave is deducted from the yearly balance. Other leave types are recorded but don't change the balance.
