Requesting vacation: one request per period

If you are away for several days in a row, ask for one single period, not one request per day.

How to do it

1. In the vacations tab of the Agenda, press Request absence.
2. Choose the type and fill in From and To with the first and last day (for example, 18/1/2027 to 22/1/2027).
3. Send the request.

Weekends and holidays inside the period do not count as days: WorkOS only deducts working days.

Why a single request

• The approver gets one notification with the whole period (“from 18/1/2027 to 22/1/2027, 5 days”), instead of five “1 day” notifications.
• They approve it in one go, instead of deciding five times.
• Your day balance is deducted the same, and it is easier to review afterwards.
• If you need to cancel, you cancel a single request.

If you need separate or alternate days

For things like working from home every Tuesday of the month, use “Several dates at once” in the same form: you choose the range and the days of the week and WorkOS creates one absence per day in a single action (see “Vacations and team availability”).

If you already sent one request per day

You can cancel the ones that are still pending and request the whole period again. Already approved ones can only be cancelled by whoever can decide on them.
