What is time off?

Time off is any time an employee or contractor is not working.

In Runn, you can create full-day time offs. During time off, a person’s available hours are set to 0 and the person will show as unavailable on the Project and People Planners for those days.

(If you would like to create half-day time offs, please check out this help article.)

There are three types of time off in Runn:

Scheduled leave

Public holidays

Rostered days off

Scheduled leave is usually annual PTO or sick leave.

Public Holidays are scheduled based on a person's Holiday Group.

Rostered days off are managed from a person's employment contract.

Viewing time off

1. People Planner

You can view all time off across your company from the People Planner.

View all Time Offs of all People

Open the Time Off grouping to see all time off. Hover over the time off bar to see the type of time off, any notes, and the total number of days off.

View all Time Offs of one Person

Example 1: Alan takes one week of leave. It will be displayed as Off in the Availability Summary on the People Planner.

2. Person Dashboard

You can view all time offs for a specific person from the Time Off section on their dashboard.

⚠️ Time off Conflicts

If there are conflicting assignments, it will be displayed as ⚠️ Conflict.

Any conflicts with existing assignments will be highlighted. To resolve the conflict, you'll need to move/delete/transfer the assignment so it doesn't clash with the time off, or move/delete the time off (only applicable to scheduled leave).
