Decide from your Home

  1. On Home, find Waiting for you. Each request from your team is a card, oldest first.
  2. For leave, read the dates, the number of days and their reason. The card also names anyone else who is away on those dates.
  3. Press Approve. A leave request needs no reason to approve.
  4. For an attendance correction, choose a reason under Decision reason (required): Checked with them, I saw them at work or Other… (it opens a box for your own words).
  5. Press Approve.
The numbers match the steps.
  1. To refuse a request, press Reject and write why in the box (for Meera it says Tell Meera why), then press Reject request.
  2. The card shrinks to one line, for example Approved. Meera has been told.

Watch out

There is no undo. Check the dates and the times before you press a button.

Decide leave on the Leave approvals page

  1. Press More, then Leave approvals.
  2. Under Waiting for you, each request shows the dates, the days, their reason and Days left.
  3. Write a Comment if you want to. It is needed when you reject.
  4. Press Approve or Reject. You see Meera Joshi's request was approved.
  5. Who is away lists who in your team is already away, and when.
The numbers match the steps.

Tip

A request for more days than the person has left says, for example, This is 1 day more than the balance covers. Only HR can approve it. You can reject it. HR decides those.

Decide corrections on the Attendance corrections page

  1. Press More, then Attendance corrections.
  2. Under Waiting for you, read their reason and the times they ask for, beside the times that were recorded.
  3. Write Your reason. It is needed to approve and to reject.
  4. Press Approve or Reject. You see Approved Rohan Kulkarni's correction. Their day has been recalculated.

Tip

The original clock-ins stay on record. An approved correction changes that day's summary.

If you are away

Tip

An HR administrator or the owner can decide any request at any time. If a request waits 2 working days, someone with the Finance role can decide it too. Nobody can decide their own request.
