Approve or decline leave

Managers decide on leave for the people who report to them. HR can see and decide on everyone's requests.

Find requests waiting for you

• Home shows Leave to approve and a Waiting for your decision card.
• On Leave, open the To approve tab. The number in brackets is how many are waiting.

You are also notified when a request arrives.

Decide

1. On To approve, find the request. The table shows the person, type, dates, days and reason.
2. Choose Approve or Decline.
3. Add a Note (optional). The person sees it next to the request.
4. Confirm with Approve or Decline.

The person is notified of your decision. An approved request uses their balance; a declined one does not.

Check cover first

Open Who is away to see the month at a glance. Each coloured bar is approved leave, with the person's first name and the leave type on hover. Holidays are marked too. Use the arrows to move between months and Today to come back.

If a plan changes later

The person can cancel an approved request that has not ended yet from their own My leave tab. HR can also adjust someone's balance from their profile, on the Time off tab, with a reason.
