Employees should follow the following procedure for providing notice of, scheduling, and obtaining approval of paid time off:

1. If you are working on an active project (internal or external), discuss the impact of your absence with your project manager & team to get coverage and clarify project impact. This is especially important if there is flexibility in your dates. This is not necessary if the need is related to sick time that is **unforeseeable**.
1. For planned time off, put the request into Unanet (Time>Dashboard). Click Leave Request, enter your date range, and enter a comment to explain your plan for coverage as discussed with your PM & team. If you are providing notice where the need is related to sick time and is **unforeseeable**, there's no need to explain further.
1. For planned time off, put the request into Unanet (Time>Dashboard). Click Leave Request, enter your date range, and enter a comment to explain your plan for coverage as discussed with your PM & team. You can use the "Additional Email Notifications" field during submission to notify your project lead or others. If you are providing notice where the need is related to sick time and is **unforeseeable**, there's no need to explain further.
1. You will receive communication through Unanet when your request is approved.
1. Go to your google calendar and create an "out of office" event for the days you have off. This will auto decline any meetings on those days with a note that you are out of office
1. Ensure that your team is reminded before your planned time off. This can happen in an email; slack message or during scrum. We want to avoid any surprises to the team even though you've planned the time off.
1. For the dates of your time-off, please update your slack status to indicate you are out of office. You can update your slack status by clicking your icon in the top right corner of the slack window, and typing in a new status in the "update your status" box.
1. If your time off is immediate, unplanned, and unforeseeable, the most important thing is that your team knows you are out. If you are able, please send a slack to notify the team and put the leave request in Unanet. If Unanet is not accessible for you, please send an email to [email protected] and cc anyone else who needs to know. You don't need to give specific information around why you are out, just indicate that you will be out today and when we can expect you back. If you anticipate being out more than a day or two, please let us know in your email, and we will let you know if we need you to submit a request in Unanet.

1. Log your time in Unanet under the category of TIMEOFF, using sick, vacation, or technical issues. Remember that doctor's appointments for you and other family members are also billed as sick time.
1. The USER REPORTS on the Reports Dashboard shows you reports about YOURSELF and you can look at your timeoff there.
1. Screenshots and further help documentation can be seen on Unanet here - https://help.unanet.com/current/unanet_menu/time/leave_requests.htm
