Time-off requests

Time-off requests are submitted by users when they need to take leave for reasons such as illness or personal matters. As an admin in Zuper, you can view and manage these requests and submit time-off requests on behalf of users. You can review and either approve or reject submitted requests based on your organization’s policies.

This article provides step-by-step guidance on how to manage time-off requests effectively within Zuper platform.

​

Viewing time-off requests

You can access all time-off requests submitted by users. This allows you to monitor and manage employee availability, ensuring a smooth operational workflow.

1. Select the “Timesheet” module from the left navigation menu and choose “Timeoff.”

2. View the time-off requests submitted by users. Each request will have a color-coded status indicator:

• Red - Rejected: The time-off request has been reviewed and denied.
• Green - Approved: The time-off request has been reviewed and approved.
• Blue - Pending: The time-off request is awaiting review and decision.

3. Customize the calendar view to suit your needs better:

• Month View: Provides an overview of all time-off requests submitted by the user within a specific month.
• Week View: This option offers a detailed view of time-off requests for each week, allowing for more granular planning and management.

Approving or denying time-off requests

As an admin, you have the authority to review submitted time-off requests and make decisions to approve or reject them based on company policy, staffing needs, and the validity of the request. Here are the steps and considerations for managing time-off requests:

1. Select the specific time-off request on the calendar to review a pending request. This action will open the “Time-Off Request Details” dialog box, displaying all relevant information about the request, including the dates requested, the reason for the time off, and any remarks provided by the user.

2. You can approve or reject the request in the “Time-Off Request Details” dialog box.
3. Approve: If you approve the request, click the “Approve” button. You need to add a reason for the approval, which will be communicated to the user.
