A Comp Off (Compensatory Off) request in Day Off allows employees to take time off in exchange for extra time they’ve worked. In short, a comp off request turns extra effort into future rest.
What Does “Comp Off” Mean?
Comp Off is typically used when:
- An employee works extra hours
- Works on a weekend or public holiday
Instead of overtime pay, the employee receives time off for using it later.
How It Works
- The employee earns compensatory time based on extra work
- They submit a Comp Off request to earn time they worked as extra time off balance to be used later
- The request goes through the approval workflow
- Once approved, balance is added
When to Use Comp Off
Common scenarios include:
- Working on weekends
- Covering urgent tasks outside working hours
- Supporting during holidays or peak periods
Web & Mobile
- Employees can submit Comp Off requests from both web and mobile
- Managers can review and approve them like any other leave request
Why a Comp Off Request Matters
Extra work happens in every team. Sometimes a deadline moves, or a customer needs help on a weekend or a public holiday. In many companies, this extra time leads to overtime pay. Comp Off offers another option: time off instead of money.
This approach helps employees rest and recover after busy periods. It also shows that the company values their effort. Meanwhile, managers keep a clear record, because each request goes through the approval workflow.
Tips for a Smooth Comp Off Request
- Submit the request soon after the extra work, while the details are fresh.
- Let your manager know what you worked on and when, so the review goes quickly.
- Finally, check your balance after approval to see the added time.
