Time Off Tracking

Still Using Paper Forms for PTO Requests?

If your time off process looks like this:

Someone fills out a paper slip

It sits on a manager’s desk for 3–5 days

Nobody knows if it’s been approved

The rest of the team finds out day-of who’s off

There’s no record during audits or disputes

Then you’re not just wasting time—you’re causing confusion, tension, and gaps in coverage. Thrive makes time off requests simple, trackable, and visible.
