If you are an absence administrator, you can approve or reject a registered or requested absence, or cancel a previous approval for a requested absence.
Approve or reject a registered absence
Before you can approve or reject a registered absence, the registered absence must be transferred for approval. For more information, see Transfer absence journals for approval.
If you reject an absence journal, the absence registrations within that journal will be available in the Register absences form, where a worker can update the registrations in the journal and then resubmit it for approval.
Click Home > Common > Absences > Approve absence requests.
In the upper pane, select the journal to approve or reject.
In the lower pane, review the absence registrations for the selected journal.
To approve the absence journal and all of the absence registrations in it, click Approve.
To reject the absence journal and all of the absence registrations in it, on the Notes tab, enter a reason for the rejection, and then click Reject.
Approve or reject an absence request
You can approve or reject only absence requests that have a status of Transferred. Also, in order to approve an absence request for a worker, an absence journal must be available for the worker for a period that includes the absence date.
Click Home > Common > Absences > Request absence approval.
In the upper pane, select the worker to approve or reject absence requests for.
In the lower pane, select the absence requests to approve or reject.
To approve the absence requests, click Approve. When you approve an absence request, the absence is transferred to an absence journal as an absence registration.
To reject the absence requests, click Reject.
Cancel an approved absence request
Click Home > Common > Absences > Request absence approval.
In the upper pane, select the worker to cancel absence requests for.
In the lower pane, select the approved absence request to cancel.
Click Cancel. When you cancel an approved absence request, the corresponding absence registration is removed from the absence journal.
