Add time off for employees

As an administrator or manager, you can submit time off requests on behalf of employees in Zoho Shifts. This is useful if an employee forgets to submit a request or does not have permission to add their own time off.

Before you start 

You can raise a time off request for an employee if you have “Add or edit other employees’ time off” permission.
