👋 Hi there!
You can access the time-off tab from home then proceed to request time off by first selecting the type you need (since it is your first time, you shouldn't be out of balance) then select the hours or days you'd be away for.
Whether or not you choose to notify people of your request, your line manager would immediately receive an email notifying them of your request. Approval shouldn't take long after that.
Thank you for asking!
