Vacation Planning
You're on vacation next week. How leave affects your agenda and what to check before going.
You're on vacation next week
Request leave
Via Telegram: "I'm on vacation next week, Monday to Friday"
Via web: /timeline → Request leave → select dates.
See the impact
PayMe replays the planner with reduced capacity and shows what changes:
- Hard deadline impacts (always visible) — tasks whose firm deadlines can no longer be met show as "at risk" with shortfall hours. These need action before approval.
- Soft deadline impacts (collapsed) — tasks whose target dates shift. Informational only.
Approval
Your request goes to an approver (admin or PM, depending on org settings). Once approved:
- Leave days are cleared from your agenda.
- Flexible tasks shift to available days after you return.
- Capacity forecasts update to reflect your absence.
When you return
The planner has already arranged your tasks. Your first morning briefing summarises what's waiting, including anything that changed while you were away.
Cancelling leave
Cancel from /timeline → Leaves. Approved leave gets reversed — capacity is restored and the planner re-evaluates.
