Find the request
Go to Tasks > Requests and choose Review on the time off item. Check that it is still pending and belongs to the employee and dates you expect. The detail view shows the requested type and supporting information; read it rather than deciding from the list row.Check the evidence
Review the date range and day lengths against the balance preview. Look at any conflict shown for the period and the named substitute if one was provided. Some time off types require a certificate. If approval is blocked because the certificate is missing, ask the employee to upload it before trying again.Approve or reject
Use Approve when the request is ready. To decline, choose Reject, enter a Rejection reason, and confirm Reject. The reason is visible to the employee, so explain what needs to change. A rejected time off request is not edited in place; the employee submits a new one.Your role determines which requests and actions you can see. A request may also be approved automatically by company policy, so it will not remain in a pending review list.
