Scheduled Time-Off also known as Planned Leave, refers to prearranged periods of time when an employee is granted permission to be absent from work. It is a planned absence that is requested in advance and approved by the employer based on factors such as company policies, workload, and employee availability. Scheduled time-off can include various types of leave, such as vacation leave, personal leave, parental leave, or sabbatical leave, depending on the organization's policies and the employee's entitlements.

Example
An employee at Company ABC submits a request for scheduled time-off to take a two-week vacation in July. The employee provides the dates well in advance, following the company's policy, and receives approval from their manager. During the scheduled time-off, the employee is not expected to be present at work and will not be performing any job-related tasks. This planned leave allows the employee to take a break, recharge, and fulfill personal obligations while ensuring the employer has sufficient notice to manage workload and arrange coverage if needed.
