Ask for time off
Open Time off in your menu, click Request, choose the absence type and your dates, and save. Your employer gets an e-mail, and you get one when they approve or reject your request.

Send a request
- Open Time off in your menu.
- Click Request. The window Time off request opens.
- Choose the Absence type.
- Check the Request year. It is the current year unless you change it.
- In Select dates, click your first day off, then your last. The days you don’t work are greyed out.
- If you like, write a Note for your employer and add a file in Attached scans and documents.
- Click Save.
For a holiday, tiles show your balance for the year: Total, Taken, Available and Requested, the working days you are asking for.
Some types need a file, for example a medical certificate for a sick leave: Save stays greyed out until you add it. Some types are approved at once, without waiting for your employer.
Follow your requests
The list Time off requests shows your requests with From, To, Working days, Type, Status and Submitted on. Created by says Me for your own requests and Employer for those your employer recorded for you.
Click Show filters to show only one Period, Leave type, Status or Created by.
You get an e-mail when your employer approves or rejects a request.
Change or delete a request
Click the actions button (⋮) of a request you sent:
- waiting (Pending approval): Edit or Delete;
- Rejected: Rejected Reason shows your employer’s reason. You can also point at the status to read it. Then Edit the request and save it to send it again, or Delete it.
An approved request has no menu: you can’t change or cancel it yourself. Ask your employer, who can reject it so that it can be changed. Requests your employer recorded for you have no menu either.
Common questions
Why does Skileo refuse my dates?
You already have a request with at least one of these days, perhaps a rejected one. Change or delete that one first.
Can I ask for half a day?
No. Time off is asked for in whole days.
My time off goes over New Year. What do I do?
Send two requests, one for each year.
