Time Off and Holidays

See when team members are unavailable in the Workload space, and understand how Time Off Categories affect capacity planning.

Overview

Time off plans give the Workload space visibility into when a member is unavailable, so the rest of the team can plan around it. Time off plans are not a replacement for your HR time off system. They exist in Mosaic to support capacity planning.

What You See

  • Time off bars — Appear as distinct work plan bars in the member's row, labeled with the Time Off Category selected.

  • Time Off Category — Every time off plan carries a category from the list your Account Admin manages in Settings 👉 Organization Standards - Time Off Categories

  • Company holidays — Appear as a gray line across all member rows on the holiday date

  • Calendar indicators — When creating a work plan, holiday dates show as unavailable in the date picker

How To Create a Time Off Plan

  1. Click into the member's row in the Workload space.

  2. Click the plus (+) icon on any blank cell.

  3. Instead of selecting a project, choose Time Off — it is the first option in the project list.

  1. Select the applicable Time Off Category for your work plan. These are set in your Organization Settings by your Account Admin. Read more about that here.

  1. By default, time off is set to All Day. To log partial-day time off, deselect the all-day checkbox and enter the number of hours.

  1. Set the start and end dates.

  2. Click Create.


How Time Off Interacts with Work Plans

  • If a time off plan overlaps with an existing work plan that has no dependencies, the work plan shifts out to the first available date after the time off ends.

  • If you delete the time off, the work plan shifts back to its original position.

  • If a work plan has dependencies set to a phase schedule, it will not automatically shift.

  • Time off that falls in the middle of a work plan visually splits the plan around the time off period. The plan is not actually split — it just displays with a gap.


Company Holidays

Company-wide holidays are managed by the admin in the organization settings. They appear as gray lines in the timeline for all members. Holidays automatically reduce member capacity for that day.


Tips

  • Enter PTO early — Adding time off in advance helps the team plan around your absence

  • Base members can add their own time off — Even without access to the Workload space, members can log time off from their Home space

  • Check for holidays when planning — The calendar picker shows company holidays so you can avoid scheduling work on those days
