How Do I Add TOIL for a User?

With Time Off In Lieu, you can either allow your Users to request the time they worked or add that time yourself.

To learn how TOIL settings can be set up or edited, you can check this Helpdesk article: How Do I Enable / Configure TOIL?

In this article, we’re explaining how Admins and Approvers can add TOIL for their Users.

Let’s begin!

Go to app.vacationtracker.io/signin to log in to the online dashboard

Select Leave Requests in the top left corner and go to Request TOIL



Select the User you want to add TOIL for

Choose a Leave Type

Enter the Start and End Date

You can only enter the dates in the past including today as the User should have worked the hours already

If you allow half-day or hourly TOIL, you’ll have an option to tick a checkbox when you select the leave type. You should then select the date and the time the User worked.


Enter the Reason

We’ve prefilled this field for you, but you can edit it or add more details.

Click Add TOIL



The amount of days or hours you entered will then automatically be added to the Users quota for that leave type.
