Holidays - Approving and Rejecting Requests (for Approvers, Managers & Admins)

If you are a company administrator or manager, or approver, you can accept and reject requests for other members of your team.

By default, Staff Leave operates the following permission hierarchy for approvals:-

• Administrators have full permission to approve and reject leave for all team members
• Managers have full permission to approve and reject leave for all members of their department
• Approvers have permission to only approve and reject leave for their approvees.

Anyone with approval permission can also amend a user's allowance settings, and issue time off in Lieu.

To Approve a Request

1. Login to your StaffLeave company portal
2. Click on "Holiday/Leave Requests" towards the top right of your screen, or from the left menu when on the home screen (as shown below).
   
3. You can also access requests directly from the shared planner, as seen here.  Requests will show as Pending in Orange:-
4. Tap on the Leave request, or if viewing via the Leave Requests screen, simply scroll to the request you want to approve or reject.
5. Tap on Approve, or hit the [X] to reject it.
6. You will then be asked to confirm the action you wish to take.  You will also be asked to type in a staff member's annual allowance if you haven't already done so.
7. Your team member will then automatically be sent a notification to confirm the status of their request.
8. Once confirmed, the leave statistics relating to the booking will automatically update in real time for each holiday year.
