# Create Time Off Requests for Employees

This guide is for managers and administrators responsible for submitting time-off requests on behalf of employees. It provides step-by-step instructions for creating a time-off request for an employee using two available methods: the Timesheet option in the Time and Attendance product and the Time Off Requests option in the Time Off product. Use these workflows to submit, view, and track employee time-off accurately and consistently across your team.
