Alpha Leave Approvals
Review and approve or reject employee leave requests as a manager.
Managers review and act on leave requests submitted by their team members.
Approval Queue
Navigate to HR > Leave > Approvals to see all PENDING leave requests for employees you manage.
Each request shows:
- Employee -- Who is requesting leave
- Leave type -- Vacation, sick, personal, etc.
- Dates -- Start and end date with day half indicators
- Duration -- Total number of days requested
- Reason -- Any notes provided by the employee
Reviewing a Request
Before approving or rejecting, consider:
- Team coverage -- Are other team members already off during the same period? Check the team agenda for conflicts.
- Vacation balance -- For vacation requests, verify the employee has sufficient remaining days.
- Project deadlines -- Does the leave overlap with critical milestones?
Approving a Request
- Select the leave request.
- Click Approve.
The request moves to APPROVED status. The employee is notified, and the leave appears on the team calendar. For vacation-type requests, the employee's vacation balance is reduced accordingly.
Rejecting a Request
- Select the leave request.
- Click Reject.
- Provide a reason so the employee understands why the request was denied.
The request moves to REJECTED status and the employee is notified with your reason. The employee can submit a new request with adjusted dates if needed.
Bulk Actions
When multiple requests are pending (e.g., around holiday periods), managers can select several requests and approve or reject them in bulk to save time.
