We understand that there will be times when you are not available to work. Sling has two different features to help you communicate this info to your employer.
It's best to use unavailability for long-term, ongoing needs. This could be a school schedule, a second job, or even when you don't have child care available.
Unavailability is designed to repeat anywhere from every 1 to 4 weeks, or until you specify an end date.
Refer to the related documentation for detailed steps on configuring unavailability.
You should enter a time off request for events such as vacation, appointments, or special occasions. Time off does not have a repeat option. You can also use it for full or partial days and you can enter a request that spans multiple days.
Refer to the related documentation for detailed steps on submitting time off requests.
Note: If you do not see these options in your account, your employer may have disabled them. Contact your manager or admin for more information.
