Tips for building an efficient PTO request form on monday.com


In most cases, sick days won’t warrant approval, but your team will want to track them alongside vacation time as well. Our HR requests template is flexible enough to be used for managing both paid time and any other types of time off. This is because the core of our template is a monday WorkForm — the user-friendly and formal place where an employee submits requests and where HR teams gather crucial information. Check out how:
monday WorkForms

Collect requests, fast

Reduce manpower spent on approving time by creating required questions on your monday WorkForm. A WorkForm is a document where you can request exactly what information your team will need in order to make a decision — in advance — like total number of days off, request dates, priority, and any other relevant details.
Automations

Seamless assignments

Use automations to help your HR team divide and conquer. Create custom automations to notify team members for certain types of requests and even create automatic messages that notify an employee when their request’s status has been updated, or if any action is needed on their end.
Dashboards

Gain insights

The value of our time off request template doesn’t stop at processing and approving incoming requests. You can transform this data into a customizable dashboard to help your team understand when the most requests are received, the number of days, and type in order to make decisions around things like company conference dates and trainings or when updating their time off and sick leave policies.

Key features of our employee time off request form template

HR teams and managers wear a lot of hats, and they need a tool that not only provides a place to create a well-structured PTO request form, they need a place to manage everything else in between. All of our templates are part of monday.com Work OS, your destination for turning tasks into deliverables.

  • Integrations When your teams use our time off request template, they can rest easy knowing they can integrate their favorite and most-used HR tools, like Gmail, Dropbox, Outlook, Zoom, and even LinkedIn.
  • Item updates While a form is a great way to get core details, time off requests can sometimes require some back and forth, especially when it comes to things like personal days or circumstances that don’t fit the norm. Our updates allow HR teams and employees to have in-context communication directly on the request for an easy-to-follow thread.
  • File sharing Add a field to your form so employees can add important documentation to their requests, such as receipts, bills, or doctor’s notes. You can manage these in the Files Column on your board and even add more if you need a signature or approval from the employee making the time off request.

When making a request, submit it in the proper format, whether that’s an email or via form. Include relevant details such as the dates you are requesting. You can then discuss with your manager any prep or cotingency plans that need to be put in place during your leave.
