How do I reject holiday requests quickly?

Once an employee has booked time off, Self-Service notifies you, the manager, by email that the request needs to be approved.

 

But if you create your own Holiday Request or a request on behalf of an employee, it is automatically approved if you are the sole manager. Otherwise, the request must go through tiered approval.  The submitted or cancelled requests that come through the Holiday module must be approved in order to keep track of an employee’s history of absences. 

 

 

To reject several holiday requests quickly

1. Sign in to Self-Service. 
2. Navigate to the Manage Holiday Booking page, by clicking the Holiday Approvals menu option under Management.
3. From the Employee drop-down list, select the employee or employees you wish to view. Any associated Holiday Request records appear in the Approvals, Calendar and Team calendar views.
4. In the Approvals view, highlight each record, and click the Reject check box in the Approve/Reject column.
5. Continue to reject the desired requests.
6. Click the Submit Requests button. 
   • Notice that the request record in the Approvals view has changed to Rejected Booking.
   • The Calendar and Team calendar are updated accordingly. 
   • Also, the date in the employee's Calendar and Team calendar is now colour-coded to reflect the status: Rejected Booking.
