Authorisations is the area employees can access to request Authorisations for time off anytime, anyplace, instead of calling the HR department with routine inquiries. It tracks several leave types such as casual, annual, sick etc., and helps the employer decide how the leaves should be allocated, applied and used. It is a very cost and time efficient solution.
To create a new request click on the plus (+) sign on the top left of your screen. A small window titled Request Authorisation will appear. Select your permission type (Holidays, Illness, Travel etc.), start and end date, start and end time and fill in the note section with a short summery of your request. Check the advanced option checkbox if you wish to exclude any day of the week from your leave. Otherwise you can leave it unchecked. Click OK and the newly created request should now appear on the list with a Pending status.
At this point, it will have to be Agreed or Disagreed by your supervisor. If they disagree that means your request has been definitively denied. On the other hand, if they agree, it will have to go through the second stage called Approval during which your 2nd level supervisor will have to Approve your 1st level supervisor’s decision. Only then, your request will have definitively become approved. Once approved/rejected/agreed/disagreed, the status will change to inform you of the decision made.
You can search through the list of your requests using the search box on the top right of the list and you can adjust the number of entries shown in 1 page here on the top left of the list.
Here on top you can also search by the status, start and end date.
That’s all for this module. Thank you for watching and please move on to our next video tutorial.
