Manage an Employee’s Leave Request

Manage an Employee’s Leave Request

Managers and Administrators can manage leave requests submitted by users on their team or within their organization.

A notification will be sent via Microsoft Teams to let the manager/administrator know they have requests awaiting approval.

To Approve/Reject an Employee’s Leave Request

From the Leave App Dashboard, click the ‘Hamburger’ Icon in the top right corner and select ‘Approvals’ from the dropdown menu.
From the list of pending requests, click on the user’s name to open a summary of the report.
Leave a brief comment on why the request will be approved or rejected.

Click ‘Approve’ or ‘Reject’.
This will trigger a notification to the user and will remove the request from your list.
From the user’s dashboard, their request will change status from submitted to approved/rejected.
