Before you begin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before approving leave requests, make sure you have:
\u2022 manager, HR Admin, or Company Admin access
\u2022 visibility into your team or all employee leave records
\u2022 configured leave policies and leave types
\u2022 an understanding of approval workflows (single-level or multi-level)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your organization uses multi-level approvals, confirm whether you are the first approver (manager) or final approver (HR). This helps you take the correct action in the workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this setup matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Leave approvals directly impact attendance records, payroll calculations, and compliance tracking. A structured approval process ensures that employee leave balances are updated accurately, approvals follow company policy, and all actions are auditable within PeopleManager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Sign in to Synclo and open PeopleManager<\/strong>
Log in to app.synclo.com using your credentials. Make sure your role allows you to review and approve leave requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Navigate to Leave Management<\/strong>
If you are a manager, go to My Team Management > Team Leaves<\/strong>. If you are HR\/Admin, go to Manage Company > Attendance Management > Employee Leaves<\/strong> or All Employees Leaves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use Search Filters to find the request<\/strong>
Use filters under All Leaves<\/strong> such as employee name, date range, or leave type to locate the specific request quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Open the pending request<\/strong>
Click on a request marked as RA Review Pending<\/strong> (manager stage) or HR Review Pending<\/strong> (final stage) to view full details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Review leave details carefully<\/strong>
Check leave dates, type, notes, and any attachments. Also review the approval history to understand prior actions taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Check Leave Balance<\/strong>
Open the Leave Balances modal<\/strong> to confirm whether the employee has sufficient leave balance before making a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Approve or Reject the request<\/strong>
Click Approve<\/strong> if the request meets policy requirements or Reject<\/strong> if it does not. Always follow company guidelines when making decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Manager approval flow (if applicable)<\/strong>
If you are the manager and a second-level approval is configured, the request will move to HR after your approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. HR final approval<\/strong>
If you are HR\/Admin, your approval finalizes the request and updates the employee\u2019s leave balance and status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Confirm system notification<\/strong>
A confirmation modal will appear, such as Leave Approved<\/strong>, Leave Approved – Sent for HR Review<\/strong>, or Leave Rejected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Verify final status<\/strong>
Open the request detail view again to confirm the final status and ensure the leave balance has been updated correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens next<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After approval or rejection, you can:
\u2022 track leave status in employee records
\u2022 ensure attendance is updated automatically
\u2022 verify payroll impact for paid or unpaid leaves
\u2022 review reports for team or company leave trends<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ensures accurate record-keeping and smooth integration with attendance and payroll workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Always check leave balance before approving<\/strong> to avoid negative balances.
\u2022 Use filters to quickly locate pending requests<\/strong> in large teams.
\u2022 Follow company leave policy strictly<\/strong> for compliance and fairness.
\u2022 Review approval history to understand context before making a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troubleshooting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 I cannot see leave requests
You may not have the required manager or HR permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Leave balance is not updating
Ensure the request is fully approved (not pending another approval stage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Request is stuck in pending
Check if multi-level approval is enabled and pending at another level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Incorrect leave type or dates
Reject the request and ask the employee to resubmit with correct details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","help_category":[15],"help_tag":[27,39,45,50,51,55,62],"class_list":["post-50","help_article","type-help_article","status-publish","hentry","help_category-attendance-leave","help_tag-attendance-management","help_tag-employee-leave","help_tag-hr-admin","help_tag-leave-approval","help_tag-leave-balance","help_tag-manager-approval","help_tag-peoplemanager"],"yoast_head":"\nHow to Approve Leave Requests in Synclo -
