What is time off?

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

In Runn, you can create full-day or partial-day time off. During full-day scheduled leave, a person’s available hours are set to 0, and they will appear as unavailable on the Project and People Planners for those days. For partial-day scheduled leave, capacity and utilization will be adjusted, but assignments can still be scheduled.

(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 (full and partial) are 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

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

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).
