When creating a time off category, you can decide if you want it tracked in hours or days. If you would like to change an existing time off category to track in days instead of hours (or vice versa), go to Time Off in Settings, click Overview, hover over the category card, click the settings menu, and then click Edit Category. 

Click Hours and change it to Days (or vice versa) and enter how many hours are in a workday. Once you click Save, the time off category and its associated policies and data will convert to the new unit of time.

To set default hours per day for time off requests, navigate to Settings, select Time Off and then select Overview. In the top right corner, you will see a small gear icon. After clicking on the pull-down arrow, select Default Hours per Day. Enter the number of hours for each respective day and click Save.

When an employee requests time off, the number of hours will automatically populate. The employee can also adjust the number of hours when submitting a time off request.
