So I tried scheduling some PTO in workday for December, my manager had to approve it. He said that has never happened before, and that was weird. Has anyone experience this??

It is because you are using PTO that hasn't fully accrued yet. Any time you borrow PTO from the future you need manager approval.
Are you sure you used PTO vs Personal Holiday? I've noticed the former may be set to auto-approve and the latter isn't.
Mine have auto approved for years. This manager just needs to go in and check their settings.
If you are exempt it goes to auto-approval, non-exempt need approval, at least for my team. I wonder if you are submitting a request for more time off than what you currently have allotted to you? You may be able to cover on e Dec comes but maybe it’s wanting you mgr to confirm? Just guessing as i have never seen happen with my exempt staff
Over a decade with WF and I've never had auto-approved PTO, always manually approved by my manager.
Probably just some Indian playing with Workday's system auto controls. Nothing to see here... get back to work.
Same but my boss found auto approval had been turned off and he had to turn it back on.
I noticed that sometimes my PTO requests are auto approved in workday, and sometimes they are not. Haven’t identified any pattern as to why.
I put in a pto request last week for June and it was auto approved.
I always found it odd that my teams pto requests would auto approve but if they modified it cancelled one I had to approve it. Are you exempt or non-exempt? Also, if you are requesting the personal holidays that require approval. One would think they would notify managers of any large scale change like this because now our workday inboxes will be overflowing.
Is it possible it has to do with how far off it is? Anyone from HR able to weigh in?
had same thing on our end - noticed a while back the auto-approve has been removed
