Recipe Overview

Whether you’re taking one day off or a full week’s vacation, it’s good practice to block that time off in your work calendar before you go. That way, your colleagues know not to invite you to upcoming meetings, instead of being left to wonder if you’ll be joining or not.

But while it may be good practice, it’s not an easy task to ensure that your employees do this consistently.

With this Recipe, you can eliminate the effort and inconsistency of manual calendar blocks. When an employee’s request for PTO is approved, Rippling will automatically block off time in their calendar for the duration of their leave.

Prefer to send placeholder events to just your immediate teammates? As with all our workflow Recipes, you can customize this template to your exact needs, including when it should trigger, what the actions should be, who it should go to and more.
