How HR Admin records or reviews leave requests

CiviHR Admin users have access to the SSP and the admin menu. Admin users can view and act on all leave requests, not just those assigned to them as the leave approver.

CiviHR admin users can book time off on behalf of other staff in three different ways:

1. Admin side: from Leave Dashboard
2. Admin side: from Absence tab of a staff
3. Self Service Portal: from Manager Leave

There are five key actions that admin users can perform when reviewing a request:

• Respond: view the request in more detail. Add comments when necessary
• Approve: approve the leave request if no other detail is needed
• Reject: deny the request. For example, if the request clashes with other staff member leave
• Cancel: cancel the request, even after it has been approved
• Delete: delete the request. Useful for rectifying mistakes and duplicate entries, etc. This action cannot be undone - all record of the leave will be removed from the system.

To manage their own leave, Admin users apply for leave through the SSP My Leave page.
