How do I approve leave?
For managers and admins
Requests wait at the top of Activity. Click Approve or Decline.
- 1Open Activity.
- 2Under pending requests, check each one.
- 3Click Approve or Decline.
You don’t have to check: a number on Activity in the menu shows how many wait for you, and each new request is emailed to you (and posted to your Slack, Teams, Telegram or Google Chat if connected). Managers hear about their own people’s.
To stop the emails, turn off Requests to approve in Settings → Alerts & emails.
Owners, admins and managers can also add leave for someone directly with Add absence — it’s approved at once. A manager’s own leave goes to an admin.
