Filing for a Leave

How to File a Leave ( Set or Unscheduled Shift )

1. Go to the “My Filed Leaves” tab and click the ( + ) icon in the upper right corner.

     Note: If your leave has been approved, secure a copy of the approval via email, as this will be used to approve your leave in Fast DTR.

2. Fill out the following details:

• Team

• Role

• Paid or Unpaid Leave - (If you are filing for paid leave based on your contract, make sure to explicitly inform your client that it will be filed as such.)

• Leave Reason

• Shift Type: Choose either:

    “Set Shift” ( Use the filter function to display the dates of your scheduled shifts )

    “Unscheduled Shift” ( if your shift hasn't been plotted yet )

• Date of Leave - (For both shift types, ensure you only enter your contracted working hours. Exclude unpaid breaks—especially important for unscheduled leaves.)

3. Attach the client approval screenshot - This is required for all paid leaves (both set and unscheduled).

    For unpaid leaves, make sure you have notified both your client and SSP.

4. Click “Submit.”

5. Verify that your leave has been submitted successfully under the “Filed Leaves” tab.

Note for Filing Multiple Dates

• For multiple dates, you may select “Date Range” instead of "Set Shift" or "Unscheduled Shift" and input the necessary details.

    This option is only applicable for unpaid leaves with the same number of hours per day.

• Select the date range you missed work or wish to apply leave for.

• Make sure you already have proof of your client’s approval so your SSP can approve the filed leave.

FastDTR Just Got an Upgrade!

You can now request holiday offsets faster with the brand-new Holiday Tab.

Here’s how it works:

1. Log in to FastDTR and click the Holiday Tab on the left-side navigation panel.

2. You’ll see the list of client holidays based on your client’s time zone.

3. Click the Request Offset button if you plan to work on a holiday and take your day off later.

4. Select the date you want and hit Submit.

Your request will appear under the Holiday Tab for easy tracking — whether it’s Pending or Approved.

Note: 

• Offsetting holidays is only available if your contract includes paid holiday benefits.

• If your client has specifically approved a paid holiday and you wish to offset it, contact your SSP so they can enable the Request Offset button.

• Make sure you have explicit client approval for both the paid holiday and the offset.

The new Holiday Tab makes it simple and hassle-free to manage your holiday offsets — all in one place.

FastDTR continues to make time management easy.

Reach out to your SSP for inquiries and clarification.
