Review holiday requests

Approvers, Admins and Owners can use Approve Holiday. Check the worker, dates, paid or unpaid status, half-day selection and notes before making a decision. Use the Holiday Calendar to check who else is away.

Approve or deny

In Awaiting Approval, open the request’s actions and choose Approve or Deny. Confirm an approval to add the booking to the approved calendar.

When denying a request, enter a reason the worker can understand. Clockwork emails the worker about the decision, including the reason for a denial.

Reconsider a decision

Use Revert on a request in the Approved or Denied section to return it to the approval queue. An approved booking that is reverted is no longer an approved absence until it is approved again.

Admins and Owners can also edit approved leave from Holiday Calendar, including its dates, paid status and full or half-day setting. The calendar’s Unapprove action returns it to the queue.

When a worker cancels

Workers can cancel their own pending requests from My Holidays. A cancelled request is removed from the approval queue. For leave that is already approved, review the decision first rather than asking the worker to submit an overlapping request.
