Available vacation, sick, and PTO hours are displayed on the left side of upper panel. A legend explaining the markings on the calendar is presented on the right hand side of the upper panel, and the calendar is shown in the lower panel.

Holidays, Vacation, Sick, PTO, Uncompensated, Time Worked, and Bereavement days which have been approved by the Administrator are shown with black numbers and a light background colors.

Days which have been requested, but not yet approved by the Administrator, are shown with white numbers with a darker background color.
