When a leave request is submitted by an employee, the following admins on Bayzat will be notified by email and on the Bayzat app:

  • Line Manager

  • Super Admin

  • Time Off Manager

How to manage leave requests on Bayzat

Step 1

As an admin, when you click on the app notification, you will be directed to your Leave Requests tab, where the notification badge indicates the number of pending leave requests to be actioned.

Step 2

  • The requests are auto-filtered by Pending leaves, showing only those pending your approval. You will be able to see details of a leave request on each card.

  • Click on Approve or Reject as needed to action the request

You can further filter these leave requests by new options like

  1. Employee name

  2. Employee ID

  3. Department

  4. Office

  5. Country

  6. Gender

  7. Marital Status

Step 3

Clicking Bayzat Insights gives you a snapshot of this employee's time off balance and any overlapping team requests during the same period.

Step 4

You can view and comment on any leave request by using @ and mentioning the employee or Line Manager under the Comments section.

Step 5

Click on the three-dot menu icon to edit, delete or change the status of a leave request.

Note:

  • A leave request must be approved by all managers in the reporting line to be fully approved after which the leave days are automatically deducted from an employee's leave balance.

  • The employee is notified when their leave is actioned or commented on.

  • If there are multiple Line Managers in the approval hierarchy, the leave request will have to be approved by all the Line Managers as well as any one of the Super Admin OR Time Off Managers, and only then will it move to the 'Approved' stage.
