Finding the Holiday Page

To approve/reject any requested holiday, firstly go to the portal menu on the left hand side of the page and select the Staff section.

Once in the staff section, select Holiday as seen below.

When you are on this page, you are able to manage all of your staff member's holiday requests.

Holidays Requiring Approval

Here you will find any holiday requests requiring your action. You can view all the details of the requests to check if it is viable, before simply hitting the green tick to approve or the red 'X' to reject.

Upcoming / Taken Holidays

In this section you will find all previously approved holiday dates. If they are in the future, they will appear in the Upcoming Holidays section, if they are in the past, they will appear in the Taken Holidays section.

Rejected Holidays

In this section you will find any rejected holiday requests. It will also detail who rejected the request and when it was rejected.

Limit Self Approval πŸ’»

When you have the permission to approve holiday there is a separate permission for approving you own holiday. This can be used where there is no one "above you" to approve your holiday.

Holiday Settings

Found in Other Company Settings, this section allows you to control whether unpaid leave needs to be approved by a manager or not.

Holiday Calendar

Your holiday calendar is at the top of the Holiday page. This shows you any approved holidays, requested holidays and unpaid leave. You can navigate your holiday calendar by month using the arrows at the top right of the page.

You employees can also see the same calendar when booking their own holidays.

Managing Holiday by Department

You are now able to give employees without admin access the ability to manage holidays within their departments.

Those with admin access will now be able to see the Departments drop-down box at the top right of the Holiday page.

Here you can select one or multiple departments by ticking the boxes from the Departments drop-down to view on the calendar.

You will need to make sure you have given the relevant staff the correct permissions to Approve Holiday and view the Holiday Calendar.
