Approve/Deny Time Off Requests

The following instructions walk you through viewing the Time Off Requests that have been sent to you by the employees that you are assigned to supervise.

Click on the main "My Screen" navigation tab at the top of the screen, and then on "Time Off Requests" from the row of links located below the main row of navigation tabs.

The screen is displayed in a calendar format.

  • To select the starting date of the displayed calendar, enter the desired date into the Start Date field. Click on the icon_calendar.jpg icon to select the date from a calendar. This date defaults to the last selected date on "My Screen," if applicable.
  • To view requests for a desired department level only, make the desired selection from the Department drop-down menu. Put a check mark in the Include Sub Departments option if desired.
  • Click on the [DISPLAY] icon to update the calendar.

A colored bar is displayed on the calendar to denote requested time off. The color of the bar defines the status of the time off request.

  • A BLUE bar means that the time off request is pending, and has not yet been reviewed.
  • A RED bar means that the time off request has been denied.
  • A GREEN bar means that the requested time off has been approved. Absence hours for the requested time off will appear on the employee's time card.
  • A GREY bar denotes approved time off that is specified as a company holiday.

Click on any colored bar to display the time off request. The request details appear in the Work Area at the top of the screen.

Review the request details as desired.

  • Click on the [APPROVE] icon to approve the request, creating the absence on the employee's Time Card.
  • Click on the [DENY] icon to deny the Time Off Request.
  • Click on the [CANCEL] icon to leave the request as "Pending."
  • Click on the [UNAPPROVE] icon to specify a previously-approved request as "Denied."  This removes the automatic absence on the Time Card.

The Supervisor Notes field allows you to enter a reason for the request's approval/denial, etc.
