    Frequently Asked Questions

    How far in advance should I request PTO?

    Most companies ask for at least 2 weeks notice for vacations. For a single day, 1–2 days notice is usually fine if it's not a critical period.

    Do I need to explain why I'm taking time off?

    Not always. For personal days, a brief reason is polite but not required. For longer absences, a short explanation helps your manager plan coverage.

    Is this tool free to use?

    Yes, completely free with no signup required.
