Guide to Short Time Off: Permission & On Duty Requests

Short Time Off

The Short Time Off feature allows employees to request time away from work for a limited duration during the day. This can be availed either as:

  • Permission – When the employee needs to step out for personal reasons (e.g., bank, medical, personal work).

  • On Duty – When the employee is away from the workplace but engaged in official/company-related tasks (e.g., client visit, training, official meeting).

Requests must be submitted through ESS and are subject to manager approval as per organizational policy. The approved time will be adjusted in attendance records accordingly.
