Leave Approval

Overview

The Leave Approval page, located in your personal profile, is your dedicated dashboard for managing time off requests submitted by your team members. This is where you can review, approve, or reject leave applications, ensuring that team availability is managed effectively and resource planning remains accurate.

1. How to Access the Leave Approval Page

You can access this page directly from your personal profile area.

1. Click on your profile avatar (which may show your initials or a picture) in the top-right corner of the Zymmr interface.
2. Select My Profile from the dropdown menu.
3. In the left-hand menu of your profile page, click on Leave Approval.

2. The Leave Approval Dashboard

This screen provides a comprehensive list of all leave requests that have been submitted to you for review, both past and present.

Column	Description
NAME	The name of the team member who has requested leave.
APPLIED DATE	The date and time the request was submitted.
LEAVE DATE	The specific date the user is requesting off.
LEAVE TYPE	The category of leave requested (e.g., Sick Leave, Casual Leave).
STATUS	The current status of the request: AWAITING, APPROVED, REJECTED, or CANCELLED.
REASON	The reason provided by the employee for their leave request.
ACTION	The actions you can take on the request, primarily Approve or Reject.

3. How to Action Leave Requests

Your primary task on this screen is to respond to requests that are in the AWAITING or PENDING state.

1. Locate the Request: Find the leave request you need to review in the list.
2. Review the Details: Check the employee's name, the requested leave date, the type of leave, and the reason provided.
3. Choose Your Action: In the "ACTION" column for that request, you will have two primary options:
   • Approve: Click this link to grant the leave request and confirm your action. The status will change to APPROVED, and the system will now consider this day a non-working day for that employee, updating resource planning information accordingly. You will still have the ability to reject the request after its already approved.
   • Reject: Click this link to deny the leave request and confirm your action. The status will change to REJECTED, and the employee will be notified. Their working capacity for that day will remain unchanged. Once rejected you cannot approve the request.

Timeliness is Key

It is important to action leave requests promptly so your team members can plan accordingly and so that project resource plans remain up-to-date.
