How Do I Request a Half-Day Leave?
Requesting a half-day leave is as simple as requesting a regular leave. It’s just an organizational construct to help you on those days when you need to finish something up outside of work.
Let’s brush up our knowledge on requesting a leave!
As always, you can request leave:
Using our - Online Dashboard
Using Vacation Tracker Integration - Slack
Using Vacation Tracker Integration - Microsoft Teams

Once on the new page, you can enter the necessary information:
Request - click on the drop-down menu to select Half-Day
Date - when do you need time off
