Accessing leave requests

There are two different options for approving leave:

  • Through the notification center '🔔'

  • Through the availability list '🌴👍👎'

Access leave requests via the notification center

When an employee requests leave, such as vacation, you receive a notification. Once you open the notification center 🔔 in the top right corner, you can review 'All leave requests'.

Access leave requests via the availability list

In addition to accessing leave requests via the notification center, you can access them by opening the availability list on the left side of the schedule by clicking '🌴👍👎'.

You can access the leave request by clicking the leave icon next to the employee's name in the availability list.


Review a leave request

After opening the leave request, you can decide whether to approve or reject it and make any adjustments to the period and leave type. You can also write an optional note.
