Adding the PTO Calendar to Your Google Calendar View
The "PTO Calendar" is a calendar generated by Zenefits with all employee requests for time off. Adding this to your google calendar will allow you to quickly see who has requested and been approved for PTO. This document will show you how to accomplish this. NOTE: This calendar also includes Non PTO (e.g. called out sick) but this calendar takes 24 hours to update, meaning you will not have a real time view of who has called out the same day.
1) Make sure you have this URL for the zenefits PTO Calendar handy: webcal://secure.zenefits.com/custom_api/pto/cal/company_pto/1748231?token=gvOdwYhxnRyh&ptoCalendarId=65190
2) Access your google calendar account on a laptop or desktop computer. You can do this by typing calendar.google.com and logging in with your google credentials (same as you would for gmail).
Once you have logged in, you should see a sidebar with your calendars listed, both "My Calendars" and "Other Calendars." You want to click the plus sign next to "Other Calendars." You will see several options for adding, but you will select "From URL." See screenshot below.
3) You will be presented a field for inserting the URL. Copy the one from step 1 of this document, paste it in, and click "Add Calendar."
4) It should now be in your calendars section. Make sure you log in to your mobile app and select the checkbox next to the calendar to make it visible. You also have the option to change the color of the events; I recommend making it a unique color from your other calendars so you can more easily identify them when you need to.
5) Give yourself a pat on the back! Great job!
