  • Requests can include supporting details .

Manager & Admin Access

  • Managers/Admins can grant Comp Off directly for employees who worked on off days.

  • Option to approve/reject employee-submitted Comp Off requests.

Policy-Based Control

  • Requests and grants are subject to the organization’s Comp Off policy.

  • Configurable rules such as:

    • Restriction on the number of Comp Offs allowed.

To apply for a comp off grant request, click the three dots in the Actions column and click Add. A pop-up window will open, where employees must fill in all the mandatory fields and submit the request.

  • Based on the employee’s work schedule, week off policy and applicable holidays, the system automatically displays the list of eligible week off and holiday dates in the Comp off Grant module.

  • Employees can then select the date on which they worked.

  • After selecting the worked date, the employee clicks on the Add. A pop-up window opens where the employee must enter Start Date & Time and End Date & Time. The system automatically calculates the total hours worked for the selected date.

  • If configured in the Comp off Policy, the employee may need to upload supporting documents and provide a reason for working on week off/holiday.

  • Once all required details are filled, the employee clicks Submit.

  • The request is forwarded to the Manager/ designated approver as per the workflow. 

  • The Manager/designated approver reviews the request details, validates the justification, and either approves or rejects the request.
