# Auto-Approving Time Off Requests

*For customers of our PTO module.*

---

If you want to track time off requests but don't want to force an approval step, Built lets you turn off the approval requirement for a given policy.

## To disable a policy's approval requirement:

1. Click your company name at the top of the main navigation, then click **Company Settings**.
2. Click the **Paid Time Off** tab.
3. Click on the policy you'd like to edit, or click **Add PTO Policy** to create a new policy.
4. Choose **No** for the **Do requests require approval?** question.

*Note: You will be asked who should receive a notification even though the request will be auto-approved.*
5. Click **Save**.

*If the policy only applies to certain people, you must* [*assign the PTO policy*](/v1/docs/assigning-pto-policies) *to the appropriate individuals.*
