Submitting Your Time Off Request in Lano

If your company enables the time-off management feature in Lano, you’ll be able to request leave directly through the platform — whether it’s a vacation, sick leave, or other time off.

Once time-off submission is enabled:

• If you don’t have a Lano account yet, you’ll receive an email invitation to join and set one up.

• If you already use Lano, you’ll get an email notification about the new payslip feature.

Lano supports several time-off types to stay compliant with local employment laws. Available options may vary depending on your location and employment model.

Common leave types include:

• Paid vacation

• Sick leave

• Parental leave

• Bereavement leave

• Unpaid leave

• Time off in lieu (TOIL)

1. Go to the Time off tab in the main menu.

2. Click Add time off request.

3. In the New request modal: select the leave type from the dropdown.

4. Choose start and end dates.

   

5. Add a comment or upload supporting documents — this may be mandatory or optional, depending on the selected leave

   type.

   

6. Review the auto-generated daily breakdown:

   • Lano will display an editable list of all calendar days within your selected range.

   • Weekdays are pre-filled as full-day absences.

   • Weekends are marked with "0" by default.

   • You can adjust this breakdown to account for public holidays or request partial days off. Each day can be set using decimal fractions between 0.1 and 1, in 0.1 increments — allowing you to record partial leave days accurately.

7. Click Submit to send your request for approval.

On the Time off page, your requests are organized into three tabs:

• Upcoming – shows all approved or pending requests that haven’t started yet

• Past – includes completed time off that has already occurred

• Cancelled & declined – lists requests that were either withdrawn or rejected

Each request will be marked as one of the following statuses:

• Requested – waiting for your manager’s approval

• Approved – ready for your time off

• Declined – not approved (with an optional reason)

• Cancelled – withdrawn by you before the start date

To view full details of any request:

• Click on any request row to expand its information

To update a request:

• Click the relevant request row

• Choose Edit (only available before the start date)

• Update the required details

• Click Save changes

Your manager will be notified of the update.

To cancel a request:

• Click the request row

• Select Cancel (only available before the start date)

Your manager will be notified of the cancellation.

Once submitted:

• Your manager or admin is notified and will review your request.

• You’ll receive an email notification once your request is approved or declined.

• Approved time off is automatically integrated into payroll, so you don’t need to take further action.

• If your request is declined, the reason (if provided) appears in the email and request details.
