Administrators and Managers in charge of a team.

Access : Leave and absences > Manager view > Request approval

There are three different ways to approve/reject leave and absences requests.

By opening each request

Open the leave request by clicking on it.
Click on 'Approve' or 'Reject' on the right.
If you click on 'Reject' you will have to put a mandatory comment to justify.

Note : "More information" allows you to request additional information from the employee and send the request back to him/her. The employee is notified by email and can resubmit his request once the information has been completed.

From Manager view

Approve or reject the request by clicking directly on the icon buttons
On the left at the beginning of each leave and absence request line, there are two icon buttons:
- " Approve this absence request"
- " Reject this absence request"

From 'Actions'

Approve or reject several requests from the manager view
Check the requests to be approved (on the left of each line or via "Actions" > Select all the elements)
Click on 'Actions, then on 'Approve'.

Note : when the request is approved or rejected, a notification email is sent to the concerned employee.
This process is also valid for submitting several absence requests for approval, refusing or cancelling them in a single action.

Caution !

You may not be responsible for the final approval of the request and the buttons may be called 'Intermediate Validation'. The request then follows the defined approval cycle and is sent to the next manager before being definitively approved.

Depending on the size of the company, it is possible to define up to 5 validation levels.
