Requesting and Approving Leave

This page covers the everyday flow: an employee requests leave, and a manager or admin approves it.

How an employee requests leave​

Employees open the Leave area and choose Leave in the Personal section. The tabs across the top let them switch between All My Leaves, Leave Entitlement, Approved Leave, Pending Leave, and (for managers) Leave Requests (Direct Reports).

Employee leave page

To request time off:

  1. Click Apply Leave.
  2. Pick the leave type, the start and end dates, and add a reason. Attach a document if the leave type asks for one.
  3. Click Next, review, and submit.

Apply Leave form

The request appears under Pending Leave until it's decided, and the approver is notified.

How managers and admins approve leave​

Managers see their team's requests under Leave Requests (Direct Reports) on the same page. Admins see every request in one place under Leave > Leave (the Manage section) on the Employee Leave List tab.

Employee Leave List

Use the Filters to narrow the list (for example, to pending requests only), then use the buttons on each row to view the details, approve, or reject. The employee is notified of the decision automatically.

Cancelling leave​

  • Before it's approved, the employee can cancel a request themselves from Pending Leave.
  • After it's approved, cancelling goes through a short approval of its own — the request moves to Leave Cancellation Requests for a manager to confirm.
