Hotschedules is a scheduling service that allows employees and employers to view and interact with their work schedules. This interaction includes picking up shifts, changing availability, and requesting time off. This wikiHow article will show you how to request time off using the Hotschedules app on an Android device.

Steps

1
Open the Hotschedules app. The icon looks like four curvy white arrows on a blue circle.
- If you do not have the Hotschedules app, it can be downloaded for a low price at the
  Play Store by searching for Hotschedules in the search bar.
2
Enter your login information and tap Log In when finished. Your login information is provided by your employer.
3
Tap on the ☰ menu icon at the top-left corner of the screen.
4
Tap on Time Off & Requests. This should be the fourth option from the top.
5
Tap on the
plus icon at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up a menu where you will need to select paid or unpaid time off.
6
Tap on
to indicate whether or not this is an all day request.
7
Tap on Starts and Ends. This will allow you to choose the dates of your request on a calendar.
- You may be restricted as to when you can request time off. If this is an issue, then it would be something that would need to be discussed with your supervisor or manager.

Fill out the required Comments section. It is best to detail the purpose of the request, and you will be unable to submit your request if this section is left blank.

Tap Done to submit your request.
