Weekend Settings

To customize:
- For businesses that operate on Saturdays and/or Sundays, these days can be configured to count against employee PTO balances
- Select “Yes” next to each applicable day
Email Settings
Control how your team stays informed about their time-off requests through customizable email notifications.
To customize:
