Important information

- Past-dated time off cannot be logged by a Team Member on the Oyster platform. Only a Company Admin or Oyster support can create a time off record on a Team Member’s behalf. You can refer to the guide in our article How do I add a backdated time off request for a Team Member?
- Any request that has not been approved before the start date of the request will be automatically rejected.
