How do I re-use a rejected absence request?

If you are looking to book an Absence that is not holiday related, you can do so by completing an Absence Request form in the Self-Service Sickness & Absence module. The request must be reviewed and approved by your manager(s), if your system is configured for approvals. Once the request is in the system, you can see its status in the Calendar and Team calendar. 

 

  Note:

If you are the manager submitting the request, the request is approved automatically.

An Absence Request may be due to illness, maternity leave, paternity leave, bereavement leave etc. Please note that for the purpose of this tutorial, the system is set up for approving sickness requests. Therefore the request will need to be reviewed or approved by the manager.

 

  Note:

This module is configurable. For instance, the Approval functionality within the application can be turned on or off. For more information as to how you can configure your Sickness & Absence module, contact your Cintra Support team.

For more information about who approves the request, see How Do I Know Who Approves My Absences?

  Note:

If you are the manager submitting the request on behalf of an employee, it is best practice that you have implicit approval from the employee to proceed. The request will then be approved automatically.
