Go Home Early Request

Purpose

The Go Home Early Request feature allows employees to request approval to leave work before their scheduled shift ends.

This request type is used when an employee needs to leave the workplace earlier than their assigned working hours due to personal, medical, family, or business-related reasons.

Once approved, the request is recorded within the Attendance & Leave Management system and displayed on the employee's timesheet with the symbol E (Early Departure).

This feature provides visibility into authorized early departures and helps organizations maintain accurate attendance records.
