Sometimes an employee needs time off for only part of a day — a doctor's appointment, an office visit, picking up a child. In Proplanum you then submit an hourly request: instead of a whole day you point to specific hours, and only that time is deducted from the limit. Below we show how to do it.

How to submit an hourly request

1. Click "Add request" and choose the employee.
2. In the calendar mark one day (an hourly request concerns a single day).
3. In the Settings section turn off the "All day" switch — the hour selection fields will appear.

4. Give the from–to hours and finish the request as usual — see [Submitting a leave request](Submitting a leave request).

How many hours it uses from the limit

How much the request deducts from the limit depends on the location setting "Deduct the limit in hours according to the schedule":

• on — the system adds up the lengths of the shifts in the schedule on the chosen days and deducts that many hours (and when there is no shift planned on a given day, it deducts 8 h × the full-time equivalent by default),
• off — it deducts the default value of a working day.
