Leave requests

Who asked for which leave, what waits for a decision and who is away today or soon. HR sees everyone's requests, a manager their team's, anyone else their own. Approve or reject with a reason, cancel leave, or ask for leave for someone. Part of the Leave requests & balances add-on.

Steps

  1. Open Leave → Leave requests. The top line counts the requests waiting, who is away today, who leaves in the next 30 days and the days taken this year.
  2. The Waiting tab lists the open requests. Press Approve, or Reject and say why: the employee sees your reason on My leave and on the bell.
  3. Press a request to open it: the days counted, the pay of each day, the balance left, who asked and who decided. HR can cancel leave here, even once it has started.
  4. Press Ask for leave to ask for yourself, or, as HR, for anyone on the staff list. Record as approved is for leave agreed on paper or already taken.

Tips

  • With Workflows & approvals and a policy for leave requests, the policy decides instead: the request shows Approval and is decided in My tasks, and the decision comes back here.
  • Nobody approves their own leave: the employee's manager or HR does. Leave set-up → Rules says which.
  • Approving checks the balance again, so two requests sent the same week cannot both overdraw it.
