Managing Your Time Off

Learn how to add, edit, and delete time off/PTO for yourself.

Overview

You can submit time off and edit or delete upcoming time off from the User side panel. Depending on how your organization's account is structured, you, your Account Administrator, or your manager may be responsible for submitting your time off. Check with your Kantata Account Administrator to learn more about how to track your time off based on your organization's processes.
