How to Manage and Approve Team Member Leave Requests

As a manager, you have two ways to approve, reject, cancel (for future-dated leave only), or send back leave requests submitted by your direct reports.

Method 1: From the Team Page

Log in to your BrioHR account.

• Navigate to the Team menu and select "Team Leave."

This will take you to the Team Leave dashboard.

• Go to the 'Pending' category to view any leave requests awaiting approval. Select a leave request to open a sidebar with further options.

The sidebar displays the actions you can take on the pending leave request:

• Modify Leave: Modify the leave details (e.g., change leave dates) on behalf of the employee.
• Cancel Leave: Cancel the leave. The record will remain, but the leave status will change from 'Pending' to 'Cancelled.'

• Approve: Approve the leave request.
• Reject: Reject the leave request.
• Require Info: Send the leave request back to the employee for further action based on your comments. This option neither approves nor rejects the leave.

• If you select the 'Require Info' button, a text box will appear where you can provide your comments and reasons for returning the leave request to the employee.

• If you select the 'Reject' button, a text box will appear where you can provide your reason for rejecting the leave request.

Method 2: From the Pending Actions Panel

The Pending Actions panel shows a list of tasks that require your attention.

• On the "Home" page, click on the "Pending Actions" button.

• Choose the task to approve a leave.

• The leave approval page will appear as a sidebar, allowing you to quickly complete the necessary action.
