For customers of our PTO module.
Using the same calendar where you define holidays, you can indicate any days that you’d like to “blackout” meaning, people are not allowed to request time off on those days. For example, if your company hosts a huge event on a particular day and you need all hands on deck, you can make that a blackout day which tells the system not to accept PTO requests on, or through, that day.
To create a blackout day:
Click your company name at the top of the main navigation, then click Company Settings.
Click the Company Holidays tab.
On the calendar, click the day you want to select.
When the Add Company Date window opens, enter a name for the date you selected.
For the Type of Day setting, select Blackout Day.
Use the checkboxes to specify the location(s) and PTO policies to which the blackout day will apply.
Select the appropriate date range and click Add Blackout Day.
Note: At this time, Built does not support the creation of half-day Blackout Days.
