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.'

NOTE:

The cancel option is only available for future-dated leave or pending leave for past dates.

  • 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.

NOTE:

You CANNOT cancel a past-dated leave that has already been approved. Please contact HR for further assistance in such cases.

  • 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.
