Manage Leave Requests

The Manage Leave Requests tab will be displayed for users who have been accorded a "Manager" status. Leave requests can be approved, subject to considerations such as eligibility, entitlement dates, and the current balance of leave. Leave requests can also be declined or deleted.

If leave requests are awaiting your attention when you log in to the website, an icon (

) appears at the top right.

The layout of this page is very similar to that of the Inbox. Requests are segmented as follows:

Field	Description
All Requests	This is a list of all leave requests, regardless of approval status
Approved Requests	This is a list of all leave requests approved by the request recipient.
Declined Requests	This is a list of all leave requests declined by the request recipient.
Pending Requests	This is a list of all unaltered leave requests created by MyStaffInfo users that have the current user assigned as their manager.
Unread Requests	This is a list of all leave requests that have not yet been viewed.
Downloaded Requests	This is a list of all leave request items downloaded by the request recipient.
Imported Requests	This is a list of all leave request items that have been imported into the Current Pay in Exo Payroll.
Cancel Requested	This is a list of all leave request items that are pending cancellation. Requests will be cancelled the next time leave requests are downloaded to the MyStaffInfo Management Console or a Synchronise task is performed.
Cancelled Leave Requests	This is a list of all leave request items that have been cancelled.
Table functions
Leave Type	The type of leave must be recorded - in many cases, the payment of leave subtracts from the current balance of leave, for the leave type in question.
Total Units	The total number of days or hours to be paid, usually 8 for a full day, or 4 for a half day if this is of the sick leave type. For annual leave this is simply listed in days.
Date From	The date from which the leave begins.
Date Until	The last date upon which there is paid leave.
Sent By	The sender of your message will be displayed here.
Date Created	The date that the leave request was created.
Status	The leave request's current status: Pending, Approved, Declined, Downloaded, CancelReq, Cancelled or Imported.
Actions	Several icons appear next to the currently highlighted request.
	Click this icon to send a message about this leave request to the affected employee.
	View this employee's leave balances. This will appear in a pop-up window and is read-only. Generally, the request sender's leave balance is checked by the request recipient before a further decision is made.
	Approve this leave request. This will confirm a successful application for leave.
	Decline this leave request. You may choose to decline the leave request - this commonly occurs when there is a staffing issue, or the employee's current balance of leave is less than the days/hours being applied for.
	Delete this leave request. Only leave requests with the Approved, Pending or Declined status can be deleted.
	Click this icon to cancel the leave request. Only leave requests with the Downloaded status can be cancelled. The request changes to the CancelReq status - the cancellation will be processed the next time leave requests are downloaded to the MyStaffInfo Management Console or a Synchronise task is performed, at which time the request's status will change to Cancelled.

Approving Leave
