Request PTO

PTO stands for ‘Paid Time Off’. A PTO request is used for any ‘Out of Office’ time not covered under Holidays or Discretionary Office Closure (i.e.. Vacation, Sick Days, Sabbatical, Summer Days)

Changes to PTO Requests in 2022

All US-based Havas companies will begin utilizing TalentSpace to request and track time off in 2022.

  • For HH&Y companies, we will continue to use Pulse for daily Timesheet entry and TalentSpace will be integrated with Pulse to supply approved requests automatically to the timesheets.
  • Please login to TalentSpace to review your PTO accrual rate and enter PTO Requests for 2022. If you believe your data is incorrect, please contact your HR Representative to review for you.

Requesting Time Off in Pulse

Until 31 December 2021

PTO Requests are accessed from the Timesheet Navigation Fly-Out

The first step in requesting PTO is to speak to your manager about your needs directly. Entering a PTO request in Pulse without your supervisor’s prior approval does not entitle you to the time off.

Once you have discussed and agreed on on the PTO timings, you should follow these steps to make a formal PTO request:

  1. A PTO request must be submitted in Pulse before you can enter any PTO time used.
  2. Access the “REQUEST PTO” form via the Main Navigation or click on REQUEST PTO in QUICK LINKS on your Homepage Dashboard
  3. From the Main Navigation, choose “Timesheets” > “PTO Requests”
  4. Once you are on the “PTO” Page, select the “Request PTO” Button.

After navigating to the PTO/LEAVE REQUEST FORM:

PTO request Form
  1. Select the PTO TYPE from the drop-down menu
  2. Enter the first day you will be out of office in DATE FROM field
  3. Enter the last day you will be out of office in the DATE TO field
  4. Enter a brief REASON for the out of office
  5. Click on the SUBMIT button to enter your request

Next Steps – Approve/Reject

PTO Requests, showing Status of Requests
PTO Accruals, showing the balance of your PTO Account.

What happens next?

Once your PTO request is submitted, it will be routed to your Timesheet Supervisor (Who is usually your manager).

NOTE: Your supervisor will need to approve the request in Pulse before you will be able to enter time for PTO into your Timesheet. (And before you can take the PTO!)

When your PTO is approved (or rejected) you will receive a notification with the status change.

You can track the status of your PTO Requests on the “PTO Requests” Page.

You can view your “PTO Accruals” by clicking on the “View Accruals” button on this page.
