    This would be useful for our school district as well, along with being able to allow a user to add HR Calendar Events to their Google Calendar. We no longer use Outlook calendars.

    Hello! Thank you for submitting this idea. We are looking for more feedback – is your idea only relating to True Time?

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    Tabitha Bailey commented  · 

    We have an hourly employee that performs two different jobs, which are two different pay codes and rates per hour. It would be beneficial to be able to assign a different time off code to each pay code.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    Could you expand on the use case for this?


    Would this be used for employees who work in multiple buildings and have different supervisors, so they would be submitting time off requests to different supervisors based on their building they are working at?


    Thank you for your input!
