Adding new attendance requests
In some cases, an employee is unable to submit a request due to certain exceptional reasons (e.g. illness). In those cases, you can submit one for them.
You can do this in two ways, directly by clicking on the calendar, or by selecting the "Add request" button and filling out the form - this method allows you to submit a request for several people at the same time.
Once the "Add new workflow request" modal is open, select the type of the new attendance request, then fill out the form accordingly.
You can create (and receive) attendance requests of different types:
- 🌞 Annual leave
-
Through this request, an employee can submit a request for annual leave.
- Employees need to have an available amount of leave days to submit this request.
-
