How to Review Leave

The line manager will receive an automated email from OfficeControl informing them that a leave request is waiting to be reviewed. The email also includes the name of the employee, their leave dates and the type of leave requested.

From here the manager can log in to OfficeControl and after navigating to Holiday > Review leave will see the request waiting to be approved. The requests are listed in order of time requested with the oldest requests at the top.

By clicking on the absence type you are taken to the request form itself. Any reason given for the leave request will be shown here.

If the absence has conflicted with a leave policy, it will have been highlighted in the initial email, the status of the request will show In Review rather than Awaiting Approval and a link to the conflicts will present itself against the request record. By clicking this link all the policies that this request conflicted with will be shown.

Ultimately the manager can choose to approve or deny the requested leave. An email is then sent to the employee with the appropriate decision. A record of the leave request is kept for both approved and denied leave requests which is available to view for both the employee and their manager.
