# Recording time off

> Record a staff member's time off so you don't schedule them.

https://docs.seascape.bz/team/time-off

Time off is recorded, not requested. There is no approval step.

On the **Staff** page, find the person and use **Add Time-Off** under their time-offs. Enter the **Start Date**, **End Date**, a **Reason** (Vacation, Sick, Training, Personal or Other) and any notes.

When you schedule a trip, a person who is off that day is marked **Time-off on this date**, so you can pick someone else. To remove an entry, delete it from the same list.
