In order to be considered the request should be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the requested time when possible.

Time off requests also include but are not limited to: Vacation, Going back to school, planned medical procedures, etc. Please use the appropriate drop down when requesting time off in the app.
Calling in Sick
If you have become ill and feel you cannot work there is a proper procedure for calling in.
STEP 1 – Log a Sick day request in Quickbooks Timesheet
Go to “Time off” on workforce app – select “Unpaid Sick Day” and select the day(s) needed to recover.
STEP 2 – Notifying the Office
Call the office at 204-896-3446. Identify yourself and leave a message indicating you are calling in sick. Often you will be starting a job or preparing for a job before the office opens if that is the case and no one answers leave a voicemail.
STEP 3 – Notifying your Supervisor
If you are running a project text your project manager Nick Okun (204-782-3530) or Adam Holik (204-232-1064). Identify yourself in the text and indicate you are calling in sick and that you have notified the office. If you are an apprentice, text your journeyman or the person running the project you are on and notify them that you are calling in sick and that you have notified the office. In turn, they will notify any other appropriate people.
STEP 4 – If you have called in sick and the next day feel you are still not able to work, repeat steps 1 & 2. Continue this until you are able to return to work. When you feel you are able to come in the following day, send a text indicating that you are well enough to return and confirm you are still scheduled for the same location. Do not assume.
