PTO schedules provide a way of specifying the days and times an employee is scheduled to out on PTO. This information will show up on the status table and on the calendars. The option to add or edit PTO schedules may be disabled if your user permissions do not allow it. This feature may be hidden if it is disabled in the System Controls. If the PTO request system is enabled in the System Controls, non-administrative users will have to submit a PTO request to a manager in order to add a PTO schedule.
