Approve and cancel leave

Approve or reject

1. Go to Leave and select Leave approvals. This opens Approvals with only leave requests.
2. Tick the requests to decide.
3. Add a Comment. A comment is required to reject.
4. Select Approve or Reject.

You need the Approve leave permission, and you see requests only for staff in your branches.

What approval changes

Approved leave is applied to attendance straight away. The days show as Paid leave, Unpaid leave or Comp off, and the staff member's balance goes down.

Leave is not approved over a day already marked by hand on the attendance page, because the mark would hide the leave while the balance still went down. Remove the mark for that day first (Remove manual marking), then approve. Likewise, a day with approved leave cannot be marked by hand until the leave is cancelled.

Cancel leave

1. Go to Leave.
2. On the Upcoming leaves or Previous leaves tab, find the request.
3. Select Cancel.

You can cancel leave that is approved or still waiting for approval. You need the Approve leave permission. The days are given back to the balance and attendance is worked out again.

Leave in a period whose pay run is finalised shows Payroll final instead of Cancel, and cannot be cancelled.

Staff can cancel their own requests from My leave, except approved leave that has already started or that falls in a finalised pay run. For leave that has started, they ask you to cancel it.
