Your inbox
Inbox lists Absence decisions: the requests waiting for you, with the hours from each role. Open one to see the detail.
- For leave: Approve or Reject.
- For sickness: Confirm or Reject.
- When someone has asked to cancel approved leave: Cancel it or Keep it.
Rejecting asks you to say why. The person asking sees it.
You decide for the roles you manage or deputise for, and for those whose manager has delegated to you. You never decide your own requests.
Before you decide
The absence page shows Time taken from each role, the person's Leave balance and Who decides. Annual leave cannot be approved beyond the available balance: reject it, or ask HR to adjust the balance.
Confirming sickness adds a Return-to-work conversation task for the manager to the person's checklist.
Cancel approved leave
On the person's page, or on the absence, choose Cancel and give a reason. The hours go back to their balance, and Payroll and Training are told.
When you are away
- In Inbox, under Delegated approvals, choose Delegate my approvals.
- Choose who in To, then set From and Until (the day after the last day).
- Choose Delegate.
On those days they decide for your team in HR, and for training places in Training. They are told. Your delegation is listed with a Cancel button. If someone has delegated to you, the panel says whose and until when.
A role can also have a standing Deputy manager, set by HR on the role's terms. A deputy decides for the role just as its manager does.
