Time off requests are submitted and managed on your payroll platform (Gusto) under Time Tools > Time Off. It’s good practice to let your direct supervisor know that you would like to take X day(s) off before submitting on Gusto, but not required.

Officers will ultimately be the ones to give final approval on Gusto and if a request is unapproved, there will be a reason for rejection provided.

It’s important to let our clients know that we’re out of the office in case they try to contact you individually.

Please follow the instructions below to turn your vacation reply on or off:

1. On your computer, open Gmail.

2. In the top right, click Settings > See all settings.

3. Scroll down to the "Vacation responder" section.

4. Select Vacation responder on.

5. Fill in the date range, subject, and message.

6. Under your message, check the box if you only want your contacts to see your vacation reply.

7. At the bottom of the page, click Save Changes.

Please let any other team members that you work with know that you’ll be on vacation from x to x.

Google Cal will directly pull Gusto OOOs this way everyone on the team will have access to it but just in case someone misses it, please also set up your OOO status on Slack by clicking on your profile on the top right > Update your Status and select the appropriate status message.
