Approve or decline leave
Find leave requests waiting for you, approve or decline them, and understand what approval changes.
Who decides a leave request
Workclave routes each leave request to one reviewer. It picks a manager or admin of one of the person's teams. If there is none, it picks a workspace admin. Nobody can decide their own request.
Workspace admins and team managers get a Leave request pending notification. Workspace admins can decide any leave request.
Approve or decline
- Click Approvals in the left menu.
- Under Leave, click the request.
- Read the Type, Dates, Length and Their reason.
- Click Approve leave or Decline.
Workclave shows “Leave approved” or “Leave declined”.
Other places to decide
- The dashboard, in Needs your decision, under the Leave tab.
- Notifications: the Leave request pending notification has an Approve button.
- Leaves → Pending approvals → Open approvals queue.
What approval changes
- The days are added to the person's used balance for that leave type.
- The attendance register shows L for those days.
- Payroll pays those working days as paid leave, not loss of pay.
- The person gets a notification.
Workclave does not stop a request that is larger than the remaining balance. Check the person's balance before you approve.
