Overview
EZTime allows employees to submit requests directly from the app or desktop — including vacation days, sick leave, shift changes, adding workdays, and more.
Requests are sent online to the relevant manager, and once approved, the data is automatically updated in the employee's reports.

How to Manage Employee Requests
Step 1 — Access the Requests Screen
In the side menu, click "Employee Requests."
Step 2 — Filter and Search Requests
At the top of the screen, you can filter requests by:
Date range of submission
Date range of the relevant reporting period
Request type (vacation, sick leave, shift change, adding a workday, etc.)
Department or role
A specific employee
Without any filters applied, the screen will display all requests across the organization, including both pending and previously resolved requests.

Step 3 — Review Request Details
Each row in the table represents a single request and displays the following information:
Employee name and ID number
Department / Branch
Request type
New report / Period — the dates and hours the employee is requesting to update
Previous report — the data on record before the request, for comparison
Attached file — if the employee included a document with their request
Description — a free-text note written by the employee
Submission date
Request status

On the rigtht side of each row, you can take the following actions:
Approve — approves the request and automatically updates the employee's report. The previous record is saved in the action history.
