Kroger employees often need to manage their vacation and personal time off (PTO) effectively to balance work and personal life. Kroger provides a tool called MyTime, which allows employees to monitor their time-off balances, request leave, and ensure they make the most of their time off. In this guide, we’ll show you how to check your vacation and personal time off in MyTime Kroger.
How to Check Vacation and Personal Time Off in MyTime Kroger?
To check your available vacation and personal time off in the MyTime app, follow these steps:
1. Log In to MyTime
Start by logging into the MyTime Kroger app using your employee credentials. If you don’t have the app installed, you can download it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Once logged in, navigate to the “Time-Off” section from the main menu. This section will display your current time-off balance, including:
- Vacation time (Earned based on your tenure at Kroger)
- Personal time off (Earned through regular working hours)
3. View Time-Off Balances

You can view:
- Total earned vacation days and how many have been used.
- Available personal time off for emergencies or planned leaves.
4. Check Pending Requests
If you have already requested vacation or personal time off, you can view the status of those requests under the “Pending Requests” tab. This shows whether the requests have been approved, declined, or are still under review by your manager.
5. Request New Time Off
If you’re planning to take some time off, you can request vacation or personal time off directly from the MyTime app. Simply navigate to the “Request Time Off” section, select the dates, and submit the request.
Your manager will receive the request and approve or decline it, and you will be notified within the app.
