Manage time off requests

Learn how you can manage your direct reports time off requests

Updated today

When an employee requests holiday, sick leave, or any other type of paid/unpaid time off, you (managers) will receive a notification on PeopleForce, where you can quickly approve, decline, and comment on the request. You can also approve or decline directly from Slack and the Mobile app without opening PeopleForce on your computer.

Get a notification

When the time off request is submitted, you (the manager) get notifications:

  • Email notification: An email with a link to PeopleForce will be sent to you as an approver.

  • Task creation: A task with a View request button will be created in the approver’s task list.

  • Dashboard notification: A notification will appear on the approver’s (manager) notification dashboard.

All time off requests needing your approval will be displayed in the To-do's widget on the Home page. Click on a request to review its details, including attachments, dates, and comments.

  • To approve the request, click the checkmark (✔).

  • To decline it, click the X (✖).
