What happens when employee submits a PTO request with no remaining paid hours in the bank?

Question

How does 7shifts handle PTO requests when an employee has no paid hours left?

Answer

If an employee assigned to a time off policy has insufficient hours in their bank to cover a paid time off request, they will be unable to submit it as paid time off. Instead, they must change the time off category to unpaid to proceed.

If some paid hours remain but don’t cover the full request, the employee will need to split the request into two: one for paid time off (for the available hours) and another for unpaid time off.
