Time Off Entries

Time Off Entries represent the time and dates that a user has requested off from work, such as PTO or vacation days.

Fetching a list of Time Off Entries

Returns time off entries which are visible to the user. Items are visible to a user if they are on the same account.

This endpoint returns structured Time Off Entry objects. As with all Kantata OX API endpoints, the returned data will be referenced in sorted order in the results array and will be indexed by ID in the time_off_entries top-level JSON key. Please see our Response Format section for more information.
