Request time off
Updated onArticleThis article will show you how to request time off in TimeForge using a Leave Type. The Leave Types you have access to will depend on your company's rules regarding PTO (for example, they might offer a week's worth of paid leave after your first year, or you might be required to accrue your leave over time based on the number of hours you worked). Leave types can be paid or unpaid, accrued or not. If your employer requires you to submit PTO requests a certain number of days in advance, TimeForge will automatically let you know if you try to create a request that does not meet the requirements.

Rank employees and restrict shifts by skill level
Updated onArticleSkill levels in TimeForge allow managers and supervisors to rank employees based on their experience at each position. The higher the skill level, the more experienced the staff member. You can even use the skill level to help create an employee schedule. Employees who work more than one position or job can have multiple skill levels. For example, an employee may be an excellent cashier (with a skill level of 5), but may be a manager in training (with a skill level of 2).
