Approving/Denying Leave Requests (Supervisor)

How to get to this page: Leave Requests tab

1. Click the Leave Requests tab. All pending requests for your employees are displayed.
2. If a pending leave request does not appear on screen you can locate it one of two ways:

• Specify Search On criteria—click and choose Employee Name or Employee ID Number. Enter the search string in the Find Employee box and click Go.
• Using the alphabet-bar at the bottom of the screen, click the first letter of the employee's last name to return pending requests of employees whose last name starts with that letter. Click # to return records that begin with a number. Click All to return all employee requests.

Note: If you enter only the first few characters of a search string prior to clicking Go, all employees having those characters in the specified search are returned. This is useful for narrowing down search results if you do not enter a specific search string.

3. Click to highlight the row of the request(s) you want to either approve or deny. To select multiple requests, hold the Ctrl key. To select all requests, click the check box in the header row.

Note: If there are additional requests, do not move to a new page until you complete Step 4; otherwise, your selections on this page are lost.

4. Click Approve to approve all selected requests; click Deny to deny all selected requests. Employees will receive email notification (if activated) of your decision and of any changes made.

Once a leave request is approved, the LR Hrs row on the time card displays approved leave requests in hours for the current pay period. This lets the employee know that they have approved requests for this pay period so they don't enter the same request twice.

Note: When a leave request is approved by a system administrator, the email is sent from the email address listed on the user profile of the person who approved the request.
