are we allowed to use our 2 floating holidays in increments of 4 hours? I submitted 4 hours in workday but did not receive approval yet, and that usually happens quickly and my boss is on Pto and my colleagues don't know the answer

@kp Your manager probably only approved it because they're unaware of the policy. It's definitely very stupid that Workday lets people request and approve personal and floating holidays in 4-hour increments even though company-wide policy prohibits that. But if your manager keeps approving the requests anyway, you're one of the lucky ones.
@cx wrong. I have some next week scheduled and approved at half a day.
@gk system does let you but it is against the rules posted on Teamworks or wherever. my manager's admin assistant pointed it out to us after she noticed our manager approving half days. she's bitter because she's hourly. annoying because our manager might not have ever noticed otherwise.
You are not - it must be a full day
Every clown in this thread saying you can’t use them in 4 hour increments better go into Workday back to January and mark mine as rejected. Stop using your heads to perform self-colonoscopies.
@op I broke up all of my floating/personal holidays in half day increments to count as RTO days. If the system lets you it can’t be against “the rules”.
No. Floating and personal holidays must be used in 8 hour increments. PTO can be 4 or 8 hours.
You have to wait for your boss to come back from PTO to approve it. Personal and floating holiday require manager approval.
All PTO can only be used in full or half days (usually 8 or 4 hours). Personal holidays are the exception which must be used in full days.
You have half day holidays? Which one?
Or are you just looking for loopholes
It's up to your manager/LOB
@OP not our group. floating holidays & personal days must be used in 8 hour increments.
Yes. However Floaters are not automatically approved by the system and must be manually approved by Manager.
