When you are done
- The request is Approved or Rejected, or moves to the next layer's approver.
- Approved time off reduces the leave balance. Approved overtime gets a recorded amount for payroll.
Common problems
An overtime approval could not be confirmed
The employee has no payroll setup for the overtime date. Ask HR to complete it, reload the request, then approve again.
A request is not in the inbox
The inbox only shows requests assigned to you. Check the approval route.
