Leave Approval
Leave Approval is where a supervisor checks that an employee has the entitlement available before approving paid leave. Approved leave affects payroll, so the check matters — approving leave the employee has not accrued creates an overpayment.
Where to find it
Go to HRM > New > Leave Approval.
How approval works
- The employee submits a leave request.
- The supervisor verifies the balance available.
- The request is approved or declined.
- The employee receives the outcome; payroll is informed through the approved record.
Field reference
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Employee | Who requested the leave. |
| Leave Type | Which entitlement it draws on. |
| From / To | The period requested. |
| Days | How many days it consumes. |
| Balance | What the employee has left. This is the figure to check before approving. |
| Reason | Why the leave is requested. |
| Status | Pending, approved or declined. |
Where leave is not approved — because of workload or an insufficient balance — decline it explicitly rather than leaving it pending. A request sitting unanswered is treated by nobody as a decision, and the employee usually assumes it was granted.
Effect on pay
Approved paid leave is treated as time worked for payroll. Unapproved absence becomes loss of pay through attendance, so the two records need to agree.
