Time off

Time off and office holidays live on the Team page, under the roster. They come off people's hours on every page: Full time means a normal week less both.

The plan keeps only who's out and when. There's no field for a reason.

Mark a day out #

The Time off calendar shows every weekday for the next few months, one row per person. Holidays are shaded and today is marked.

• Click a day to mark that person out.
• Click it again to mark them back in.
• If the day is part of a longer stretch, Bullpen asks whether to remove the whole stretch.

Holidays can't be clicked; the whole office is already out.

Add a stretch of time off #

1. Under the calendar, pick Who's out?.
2. Pick the first and last day.
3. Tick half days if they're out half of each day.
4. Click Add time off.

Each stretch shows in the list below it. Click × to remove one. A half day takes half of the person's normal day.

Where time off shows #

• Staffing grid: the days out turn purple in that person's rows, and a week out entirely reads PTO. Booked hours on those days don't count.
• Team cards: time off stacks on top of the week's bar, hatched, and ▾ Details lists the dates out.
• Checks: a warning when someone staffed on a package is out on its deadline day.
• Micro details: a day they're out all day reads Out for that person.
• Report: the PTO calendar block, one row per person out.

Office holidays #

Under Office holidays, tick the federal holidays your office takes and untick the ones it works. They come off everyone's hours: a week with one holiday books four days.

To add a day the office is closed, like the day after Thanksgiving, pick it under Extra days closed and click Add.

Share the team's time off as a calendar #

A staffing plan can publish who's out as a calendar the team subscribes to in Outlook or Google Calendar. It carries names and dates only. See Team PTO calendar.
