Use this guide if you have permission to review leave requests for your team.
Open the approvals queue
1. Log in to Givver.
2. Go to Time → Approvals → Leave.
3. Use the summary, search and filters to find the request you need. Depending on your access, you can filter by status, leave policy, employee, department, entity or location.
The approvals queue is only available to users with the appropriate leave approval permissions.
Review a request
Select a request to review its details. Depending on the request, you may see:
• Employee
• Leave policy and dates
• Duration and current status
• Notes
• Supporting documents
• Approval and document status
The actions available depend on the request status, the leave policy and your permissions.
Approve a request
1. Review the request details.
2. Select Approve.
3. Confirm the action if prompted.
If the selected leave policy requires supporting documents, the request may need the documents to be received and validated before it can be approved.
Reject a request
1. Review the request details.
2. Select Reject.
3. Add a reason if requested, then confirm.
The request status will change to Rejected and the team member will be able to see the updated status.
Delete a request
Delete is only shown when the request status, policy and your permissions allow it. Confirm the action carefully: the active request will be removed, and any leave balance used by the request will be restored where applicable.
