Quick answer
After 7 days of HR initiating a leave request for an employee, if they have not completed their leave survey, Tilt marks the employee as disengaged. On day 8, HR users receive an email to complete any missing questions, and Tilt can move forward with the leave plan using the info HR provides.
Who this applies to / Prerequisites
- An HR user has submitted a leave request for an employee.
- The employee has not completed their portion of the leave survey.
Steps
- After you submit the HR portion, Tilt sends reminders to the employee for the next 7 days.
- On day 8, all HR users at your company receive an email asking you to complete any questions the employee hasn't answered.
- Complete these required questions so Tilt can move forward:
- Leave Plan Duration (continuous vs. intermittent)
- Expected return-to-work date
- For parental leave: whether the employee is the one who is pregnant, type of birth, expected due date or date of adoption
- For caregiving leave: which family member the employee will be caring for
- Once you submit these answers, Tilt begins building the leave plan.
What if it doesn't work
- If you didn't receive the day-8 email, check your spam folder and confirm your HR user email is current in Tilt.
- Check the Pending Leaves table on your HR dashboard — a warning icon appears next to leaves with missing employee information.
Limits and exceptions
- The leave plan proceeds without the employee's direct input after day 8, as long as HR has provided the required fields.
- The employee will still be prompted to review the leave survey when they eventually log into Tilt, and they can update details at that point.
- If the employee never logs in, the leave plan still runs — but some information (like contact preferences) will remain incomplete.
