Leave statuses

A leave request can have one of the following statuses:

• Approved: The request has been reviewed and accepted.
• Declined: The request has been reviewed and rejected.
• Pending: The request is waiting for manager action.
• Cancelled: The request was withdrawn and is no longer active.

After approval

When a leave request is approved, the employee’s leave record is updated automatically. Email notifications are sent to the employee and to the project managers of any projects the employee is planned against during the leave period.

Note: The project manager does not receive notifications if the PM notifications option is disabled in the project advanced tab.

The approved leave appears on the Leave Calendar and Reports pages. All past leave that you have approved appears under the Manage Leave tab:

Declined requests

When a leave request is declined, the employee receives an email notification that the request was rejected. The declined request remains visible to the employee.

Automatic declines

A leave request is declined automatically if it is not approved within 10 days and the start date is more than 3 days in the past.
