If you have permission to approve leave, the Approvals tab on the Leaves page lists requests waiting for your decision.

  1. Click Leaves in the sidebar.
  2. Click the Approvals tab (a red badge shows when there are pending requests).
  3. Each pending request shows the requester, leave type, dates, attached documents, and a hover summary of the team's other leave for the same period.
  4. Click a request to open the details.
  5. Click Approve to confirm, or Reject with a brief reason.

Approved leave is deducted from the requester's allowance immediately, blocked out on the team calendar, and visible to anyone planning workload for that period.

To handle several at once: tick multiple requests and use Approve Selected at the top.

Tip: Before approving, switch to Team Leaves to see who else is out on the same dates — it prevents over-approval during peak periods. Some firms add an organisation-wide rule (Settings > Leave Types and Calendar) that limits how many people can be on the same kind of leave on the same day.
