Approving and Rejecting Leave (Managers)

If you have Approver permissions, you are responsible for reviewing and actioning holiday requests from your team.

Viewing Pending Requests

  1. Go to Holidays > Approve
  2. You'll see all pending leave requests for your business
  3. Each request shows the employee name, dates, leave type, and reason

Making a Decision

For each request, you can:

  • Approve – Click Approve to confirm the leave. The employee will be notified and the leave will appear on the team calendar.
  • Reject – Click Reject and optionally add a reason. The employee will be notified with your feedback.

Things to Consider

  • Check the Team Calendar alongside the approval screen to see if other team members are already off during the requested period
  • Filter by department to focus on your team
  • Your own requests won't appear in the approval list – they need to be approved by another approver

Requesting Leave on Behalf

Managers can also submit leave requests on behalf of team members. This is useful for recording unplanned absences or pre-approved leave.
