Approve or reject time-off
Decide your team's short time-off requests, or cancel one.
Time-Off Approvals lists short time-off requests from your team: the date, how long, and the reason.
Who can do this
- Owners and admins see every request and can approve, reject and cancel.
- Managers see only the requests of the people who report to them, and can approve and reject pending ones.
- Everyone else sees "This page is for owners and admins of the workspace."
An admin cannot decide their own request. The workspace owner can.
Who is told
When someone files a time-off request, their manager is told. If the person has no active manager, every owner and admin is told instead. The person who filed it is never told about their own time-off request.
Steps
- Open HR, then Time-Off under Approvals.
- Find the request in Time-off requests.
- Click Approve. Or click Reject, type a note in the note box if you want, and click Confirm reject.
- To cancel a request (owners and admins), click Cancel, then Confirm.
There is no "add for someone" button on this screen.
Common problems
- "That request has already been decided or cancelled." Someone else decided it first.
- "You can't approve, reject or pay your own request. Ask the workspace owner or another admin."
