Understanding Time Off in Productive
In Productive, time off covers a range of leave types you can request, such as paid summer and winter vacations, half-days off, unpaid leave, and paid maternity or paternity leave, among others.
These customizable time-off categories, known as allocations once assigned to you, offer flexibility for effectively managing your schedule and requesting any type of leave established by your company admins.
Productive categorizes time off into two main types:
Unlimited Time Off: Request an unlimited number of days or hours.
Limited Time Off: A finite number of free days or hours available for request.
Depending on your company's settings, time-off requests may be approved automatically, or your manager may need to approve them before your availability is adjusted accordingly.
Checking Your Available Time Off
To view and manage your current available allocations, follow these steps:
1) Access Your Profile

If you don’t see a specific time-off allocation in your Time off tab, please contact your account admin to ensure you have been assigned the appropriate time off 🏝️!
Time-Off Allocation Information
Each time-off allocation includes information about:
Number of Days or Hours Available: Information about available time-off requests.
Approvers and Subscribers: If approvals are enabled, the approver will need to approve your request, and the subscriber will be notified once the request is approved. Hover over the initials to see who your approver is.
Allocation Details: Expand the details to see the time-off allocation validity period and remaining days for each period. By default, the oldest period's dates will be used first, and once exhausted, the app will move on to the more recent period.
