How to open a leave request for review#
For: Manager | Admin You’ll need: A leave request to review — usually one with status ‘Pending’.
You’ll open the review form, see the worker’s request as read-only fields, leave admin notes, and find the action buttons that move the request through the workflow.
Open the review form#
In the left sidebar, go to Company → Leave requests.
Click the row of the request you want to review.
The page opens with all request fields locked: requester, policy, start and end dates, hours, the worker’s note. Below them sits the ‘Admin notes’ textarea and the action buttons.
Read what’s available#
The action buttons are gated by the request’s current status, so you’ll only ever see what’s valid:
Status |
Buttons shown |
|---|---|
‘Pending’ |
‘Approve’, ‘Decline’ |
‘Confirmed’ |
‘Revoke’ |
‘Declined’ or ‘Revoked’ |
(none — request is terminal) |
Add admin notes#
In the ‘Admin notes’ textarea, enter context for your decision — coverage notes, conversations with the worker, links to docs.
Notes are visible to other managers on the request. They’re saved with the action when you click Approve, Decline, or Revoke.
Verify it worked#
When you click an action button, the request reloads with its new status badge and a stamp showing ‘Reviewed by’ you and the time. The button row shrinks to whatever’s still valid for the new state.
