How to request less than a day off

Time off on Remote is based on an 8-hour workday. If you need to request less than a full day off, you can adjust the exact number of hours you need to take off before submitting your request.

Note: It is also possible to vary the number of hours off you need over a couple of days. For example, if you need to take 3 hours of paid time off (PTO) over 2 days and 5 hours of paid time off (PTO) over 3 days, it is possible to do this in one request rather than creating multiple requests. 

That's it! You have submitted a request for time off. Now you have to wait for your manager to review and approve your request. Time  off requests are not approved/declined by Remote.
