5. Be sure to click 'Save.'

From there, all future Time Off requests for that day or date range will be Blocked. Employees will receive a notification that this day has been blocked if they attempt to submit a Time Off request for that date/date range. 

⚠️ All previously submitted Time Off requests will not be affected. You will still need to either approve or decline those requests.
⚠️ If you are using the Sick Paid Time Off (SPTO) feature, Blocked days will not be applied to Sick Paid Time Off requests.
