How do I approve an absence request quickly?

Have more questions? Submit a request
Depending on how your system is configured, once an employee submits an absence request, Self-Service notifies you by email that the request needs to be approved. 
 

  Important:

If you can’t find the Self-Service email, check your Junk Mail, Trash folder etc to ensure that it has not ended up in there before you contact Support.

 
But if you create your own Absence Request or a request on behalf of an employee, it is automatically approved if you are the sole manager. Otherwise the request must go through tiered approval.
 
Any submitted or cancelled requests that come through the Sickness & Absence module must be approved in order to keep track of an employee’s history of absences. Although you can approve/reject a request in ApprovalsCalendar or Team calendar, if you have several requests to approve, you can do so quickly.

To approve an absence request quickly

  1. Sign in to Self-Service
  2. Navigate to the Managing Sickness page, by clicking the Sickness Approval menu option under Management.
  3. Highlight the desired Absence Request in Approvals
  4. Click the desired check box in the Approve/Reject column. 
  5. Click the Submit Requests button. 
    1. The request record for each absence in the Approvals view has changed to Approved Booking
    2. The Calendar and Team calendar are updated accordingly. 
    3. ​The date in the employee's Calendar and Team calendar is now colour coded to reflect the status: Approved Booking.
