Modified: 23 May 2026 Viewpoint HR Management for Vista Human Resources HR and Employee Help

Use the Time Off page to request time off and to review leave code balances and time off history.

Request time off by selecting dates on the calender and choosing a leave code for those dates. You can view a list of your company's holidays (if configured) by selecting the View Company Holidays at the top of the page. To see a time off schedule for other employees in your assigned group (requires permission), select the View Group Time Off button.
  1. Select Employee Tools > Time Off.
    The Manage My Time Off page opens showing current leave code balances for the logged in user as of today's date. These include hours currently available, hours planned for use, and projected hours based on a future date. For more details on projected balances, see Review and Project Leave Code Balances.


  2. To request time off (full days):
    1. Select the days off from the calendar. Use the right and left arrows at the top of the calendar to navigate to different months. Total Requested Hours updates based on the days that you select.


    2. In the leave code dropdown, select the applicable leave code. For example, Vacation.
    3. In the Request Description field, enter a brief description for your request to submit to your supervisor.
    4. Select Submit to finalize your request.
  3. To request a partial day off:
    1. Select a single day on the calendar.
    2. In the Current Request dropdown, select Partial Day.
      The Total Requested Hours field is made available for an hours entry.
    3. Enter the Total Requested Hours.
      Note: Some leave codes require whole hours entry or allow increments of an hour for time off. If your Total Requested Hours do not match the required increment, a message displays below the leave code field to indicate the required increment for that code.
    4. In the leave code dropdown, select the applicable leave code. For example, Vacation.
    5. Select Submit to finalize your request.
  4. To download a calendar invite for requested time off, in the Request History area, select the Action button and then select Calendar for that request (applies only to future requests).
    The Request History area shows all requests that have been submitted. You can search for submitted requests by leave code.
  5. To cancel a time off request, in the Request History area, select the Action button and then select Cancel for that request.
