The easiest way to approve (or decline!) holidays that an employee has requested is via the HOLIDAY REQUESTS screen from the PAYROLL INPUT menu. The small number next to the HOLIDAY REQUESTS option denotes the number of pending holidays awaiting approval.
All outstanding holiday requests will be listed in this screen.
If you want to approve all holidays, you can do this easily by simply ticking the "CHECK ALL" tick box in the top left of the list of requests, this will select all PENDING requests; you can then also de-select days you won't approve.
Or alternatively you can select individual days to EDIT/DELETE.
To approve the selected days, scroll to the bottom of the list and select APPROVE from the BULK ACTIONS drop down list and then APPLY TO SELECTED;
This will approve all selected days (provided the employee has the required holiday left to take), and mark the days on the rota as holiday.
You can also choose to decline or update the selected days, as well as delete them completely.
If you select DECLINE/UPDATE you can choose specific days (and reasons) for declining the holiday and you'll also see the employee's holiday year summary, so you can see if they have days accrued for which to take as holiday;
You can also mark selected days as UNAVAILABLE TO WORK (i.e. agreed unpaid leave) if you so wish.
N.B. - you cannot approve more holidays than the employee is entitled to in a holiday year.
