How to respond to time off requests

  • Updated

You can approve and dismiss employee time off requests in OnPay. We'll show you how. Note: If you haven't already, you'll first need to set up a time off policy, and assign it to your employees

 

How you're notified of new requests

When employees request time off in their OnPay dashboard, you'll receive an email notification about the request. In this example, anthony is an employee requesting PTO. You can follow the link to log in.
