The user will be presented with a list of holidays awaiting approval. The user can use the filters at the top of the screen to select the employee(s) they wish to manage.
Selecting an employee will automatically refresh the screen to show only that employees requests.
Selecting any specific request will also update the calendar on the bottom-half of the screen to show the period around the requested date. This allows the user to see which other employees have approved holidays around this time.
Approving/Rejecting Holidays
Each requested holiday has options to allow the user to approve or reject the request. This is done by ticking the option against the request in the top-half of the screen.
Clicking the APPROVE option will authorise the holiday and add it to the holiday calendar. Clicking the REJECT option will reject the request. The user can select a reject reason if they wish from the Notes Library or they can manually enter a reason. The request will be updated accordingly.
Once requests have been processed, they will drop off from the list of holidays waiting to be approved and, if approved, added to the holiday planner.
Cancellation of Approved Holidays
If an employee requests cancellation of an already approved holiday, then the user must also approve it's cancellation. These requests will also be displayed on the Holiday Approval screen.
If the holiday can be canceled, the user set the Cancel field to YES. Clicking ACCEPT will update the request and inform the employee as well as remove the holiday from the holiday planner and update the employee's holiday entitlement.
