Approve absence requests

Review the absences and vacations your team asks for and approve or reject them with a note.

Updated on October 8, 2026

See pending requests

Open Schedules › Requests. It lists the absences and vacations your team asks for, with the Employee, Dates, Shift, Type, Origin (Portal or App) and Status.

The sidebar shows how many are pending next to Requests. Use the filter to see Pending, Approved, Rejected or All, and the search box to find a request.

Approve a request

In Schedules › Requests, open a request to see its detail. If you want, write a note the employee will see and click Approve. The request becomes Approved with its date.

You can move to the previous or next request without closing the detail.

Reject a request

In Schedules › Requests, open the request and click Reject. Write the Rejection reason so the employee understands the decision and click Reject request. The employee receives a notification with that reason.

Where absences show up

Each person's absences appear in Schedules › Staff, in the Absence column, with their type and until when they last, or from when they start.

In Schedules › Reports, absences count scheduled days with no clock-in and do not include justified absences.
