Approvals

Approvers — usually team leads, HR, or owners — see incoming leave applications under the Approvals tab in Attendance. The same idea applies to expenses: travel and vouchers wait for an approver under the matching Approvals tab in Expenses.

Approve a leave

  1. Open Human Resources in the sidebar and click Attendance.
  2. Open the Approvals tab. Pending leave applications appear in a list.
  3. Click View on a row to open its detail.
  4. Choose to approve or reject from the action buttons at the bottom of the modal.
  5. If you reject, a prompt asks for a Reason for rejection. The applicant sees this on their leave detail.

Approve a travel claim

  1. Open Human Resources in the sidebar and click Expenses.
  2. Open the Approvals tab.
  3. Open a pending travel claim. The Travel Entry modal shows the date, the list of stops, distances between stops, the petrol rate that applied, and the calculated reimbursement.
  4. Approve or reject. Use the rejection prompt to capture a reason when rejecting.

Approve a voucher

In the same Approvals tab inside Expenses, voucher claims open with the voucher's title as the heading. Vouchers cover non-travel expenses such as office supplies, courier, or vendor refreshments.

Review the title, amount, category, invoice number, and any attachments before deciding.

Common questions

Why do I see no pending approvals?

Either there are none, or none of the people who have applications in flight report to you. Approver routing follows your reporting structure and the approval permissions on your account, not a setting under HR Settings.

Can I bulk-approve?

Approvals are processed one at a time so you can capture a rejection reason when needed.

What if I approved by mistake?

Ask your administrator. Approved leaves can usually be cancelled from the leave detail by users with the right permission, and the action is logged.
