Scheduled time off (planned leave) is paid leave approved in advance and prepared in advance. It can also refer to time off (leave) where the request has been approved, but the time off has not been scheduled. Scheduled time off (planned vacation) typically occurs when an employee requests time off in advance, although exceptions do occur.
Planned leaves are those approved by the manager. To take planned leave, you need to apply for it beforehand and get it approved by your manager. Planned leaves reduce any disruption that the employee’s absence may cause to the workflow.
Time out is when an employee logs out at the end of the workday, while time off is when an employee takes a leave.
Paid time off usually includes all the leaves that come under the paid leaves. If an employee uses their paid leave to take a planned break, then it can be a planned leave that is paid time off. There is no defining difference between these two types of leaves.
