Recipe Overview

Whether you’re taking one day off or a full week’s holiday, it’s good practice to block that time off in your work calendar before you go. This way, your colleagues will 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 leave has been approved, Rippling will block time off automatically in their calendar for the duration of their leave.

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