Approve/Decline a leave request on Mobile

💡Top Tip: For smoother approvals, always include Roster Notes when scheduling. This provides managers with clear visibility of events or specific reasons that may impact leave approval decisions for a given day.

🔐 Please note: Your ability to view and approve leave requests is based on your access level. You will only be able see and action requests for employees who have been assigned to you as their “Reports To” contact.

• Open the Alkimii App on mobile and navigate to "Leave Request Approvals" 

• Locate the employee's request using the search bar function and filters or scroll through the list of pending requests on your mobile device. 

• Click on the leave request card you wish to review. 

You will be redirected to a screen displaying the employee's profile details, balances and pending requests. If the employee has left any notes in addition to the leave request, this will appear beneath the requested date.
You can change the type of leave on the request modal if needed. If you need to extend or reduce the hours paid out to the employee for this date, you can update this figure.

If another employee within the same department is also off on any of the requested dates, you will see a disclaimer to ensure adequate cover for the department.

• To see who else is on leave, you can select the "Others on leave" dropdown menu. 
• If this is a single leave request, you can simply select "Approve 1 pending request" or "Decline" on the request.
• If there are multiple leave requests, you can individually "Approve" or "Decline" each request or you can batch "Approve X pending requests" or "Decline requests". 

You can leave a note for the employee if you need to decline any leave request they have submitted to provide any context for the rejection.
