PTO and Time Off

What Is PTO Tracking?

Thicket's PTO (Paid Time Off) module lets team members request time off and managers approve requests. It tracks balances and provides a team calendar view.

Requesting Time Off

1. Go to Time Off in the sidebar
2. Click Request Time Off
3. Fill in the details:
   • Type — vacation, sick leave, personal day, etc.
   • Dates — start and end dates
   • Notes — optional reason or context
4. Submit the request

Approval Process

1. Your manager receives a notification of your request
2. They can approve or deny the request
3. You'll be notified of the decision
4. Approved time off appears on the team calendar

Viewing Your Balance

• Your current PTO balance is shown on the Time Off page
• See how many days you've used and how many remain
• Balances are updated automatically when requests are approved

PTO Policies

Organization admins can set up PTO policies:

• Accrual rates — how much PTO is earned per period
• PTO types — vacation, sick, personal, bereavement, etc.
• Carryover rules — whether unused PTO rolls over to the next year
• Blackout dates — dates when PTO cannot be taken
