Time off API: filter who's out by working policy types

The Time off 'Who's out' API now supports filtering time off requests based on the policy's activity type.

What’s new:

A new includeWorkingRequests boolean query parameter has been added to the Who’s out API, where:

  • true (default, backward-compatible with existing behavior): Includes all time off requests, including WFH, business travel, and other working-type policies (activity = workTime)
  • false: Excludes working-type requests and returns only actual absences such as sick leave, holidays, or unpaid leave (activity = paidTimeoff or unpaidTimeoff)

To learn more about policy activity types, see Get Policy type details.

Why it matters:

  • Lets you distinguish between true time off and remote or on-the-go work
  • Reduces confusion in calendars, dashboards, and workflows that rely on absence data
  • Supports more accurate availability tracking across teams
  • Improves integration with tools that need a clear picture of who's fully out versus just working remotely
