Atto gives admins full control over how time off requests are handled. You can define leave types, decide who can approve requests, and ensure everything aligns with your company’s time off policies.
Accessing Time Off Settings
To configure your preferences:
Go to Settings > Time Off Preferences
Toggle Time Off Requests ON to allow employees to submit time off
Customizing Time Off Policies
Define Leave Types
Create and manage time off categories such as:
Vacation
Sick Leave
Personal Leave
Other custom options
Employees will only see the options made available by the admin.
Enable or Disable Manager Approvals
Decide who can handle approval workflows:
Keep it limited to admins (default), or
Allow managers to approve and reject requests for their teams
Approval Workflow Options
Admin-Only Approval (Default)
By default, only admins can approve or reject time off requests.
Require Manager Approval
If enabled:
Managers can view, approve, or reject requests submitted by team members
They will receive a notification each time a new request is submitted
This helps distribute responsibility while keeping control centralized if needed.
Why Customize These Settings?
Stay aligned with internal policies – Make sure time off tracking reflects company rules
Streamline request handling – Assign approval responsibilities where it makes sense
Improve visibility – Keep accurate and accessible records for each leave request
