VP Timeclock Absence Request

You can use VP Timeclock to request time off, and to review the status of your previous requests. Absence requests are sent electronically to the Appointment Queue at the bottom of your HR Manager calendar, where administrators can accept or deny them. Accepted absence requests will appear in your HR Manager calendar, your Office calendar, and optionally the Notes section of your Grid Bar.

To be fully functional, this feature requires the HR Manager module.
