How do I request for time off?

Before requesting for time off (vacation), please ensure you are covering the following items prior to making the official request.

1) Check match calendars and schedules to identify upcoming deadlines and assess current workload to determine next steps.

• Is there a match day that week? Is it during our peak period? Do I have any critical activities to perform on these days? Can I shift this responsibility to someone else?
• If a critical activity is identified, complete a summary of what needs to be done and when to discuss coverage of responsibilities during your absence with Diana or Eileen.

2) Communicate with team leads (Diana for CS and Eileen for OPS) about the request for time off and discuss any potential impact on ongoing projects or tasks and determine coverage for elements required (if needed).

3) Once you have communicated with Diana/Eileen to ensure coverage, submit your official request in BambooHR for approval.

4) Communicate any updates or changes to your time-off plans as needed with them/team, and ensure that all necessary arrangements for coverage or handover are in place before the scheduled time off.

5) Set up out-of-office notifications on email and other communication as needed.

*Sick days, personal days, appointments does not have to follow this process, you can simply make the request in BambooHR. However, the expectation is that if there is something important to consider, that you will make Diana or Eileen aware (if they don't already)*
