“PTO Balances Shouldn’t Be a Guessing Game – Why Managers Need More Context When Reviewing Time-Off Requests”

Managing time-off requests is a regular part of a manager’s workflow, but it doesn’t need to be a back-and-forth guessing game. A recent  request highlighted a simple yet significant enhancement:

“Can managers see PTO balances right when they’re accepting or rejecting a request? It would be helpful to have that context upfront.”

This isn’t just a smart idea—it’s essential for streamlining workforce management. And with CloudApper hrPad, it’s already possible.
