Approving leave requests

Approve or reject

1. Open People > Leave.
2. Filter the list to Status: Pending.
3. Click a request to see details: policy, dates, days requested, balance after, notes.
4. Click Approve or Reject.

Spotting conflicts

Switch to the Calendar view (toggle at top) to see overlapping leave across the team. Approved requests show coloured, pending ones show outlined. Helpful for "is anyone else off that week?" decisions.

What happens on approve

• The balance is debited immediately.
• The employee receives an email notification (if email is configured).
• The dates are added to the team calendar.

Cancelling an approved request

The employee can no longer cancel approved requests themselves — they'd need to ask you. From the request detail page click Cancel. The balance is credited back.

Bulk approval

For large teams, the API supports bulk approval but the UI doesn't yet — coming in a future polish slice.
