Why Request Comp Time Off?
Extra hours add up quickly. For example, you might cover a weekend shift or finish an urgent task late at night. Comp Off turns that extra effort into time you can use later to rest.
In addition, the approval step keeps everything fair and visible. Your manager confirms the extra work, and Day Off keeps a clear record of the balance you earned.
Tips for Using Comp Time Off
- Submit your request soon after the extra work, while the dates are easy to remember.
- Choose the exact dates you worked, not the dates you want off.
- Check that Comp Off is enabled in your leave policy before you start.
- Once your balance is added, plan when to use it, just like any other leave.
When you are ready to use it, follow the steps in how to submit a leave request.
