How to review and approve leave requests

If you can approve leave, the Leave page opens with everything waiting on you at the top, along with the work each request would leave uncovered.

Open the Requests tab

Select Leave in the sidebar. Requests are grouped into Needs your review, Upcoming leave, My requests and Previous requests, and the sidebar shows a badge when something is waiting.

Open a request

Select a request to see who it's for, the dates, whether it's full or half days, and any note they left.

Check the work in that time

The request lists every walk, service and boarding stay assigned to that person across the period, with the date, time, client, pets and cover status.

Approve or decline

Approve to book the leave. Decline opens a box for an optional reason, which the person sees in their email.

Approved leave can still be cancelled later if plans change.

Use the calendar for the bigger picture

The Calendar tab shows leave across the month with morning, afternoon and all day marked. Move between months and filter by team member, then select any entry to jump to the request.
