• Approval and Half Day Leave

    By Derrick Seet 2 decades ago

    Hi Bob,



    We are testing out this vacation request. Thanks for yr contribution.

    Need a few pointers from you:.

    1.      For Approval, we set the dept. mgr as approve mgr and admin as administrator. However, when the mgr approves the vacation, it always route to the Administrator for approval. Can this not route to Administrator but with just immediate approve by the mgr?<br/>
      

    2.     For vacation, normally our practice is only 0.5 day or 1 day. However, this application counts as per hour time off. Anyway to set this to just 0.5 day when half day is taken?<br/>
      


      Thanks,

      Hi Derrick,



      Thanks for your interest in Vacation Request!


      1. Approval Manager v. Administrator

        From Help,Using:

        "If the Approval Manager and the Leave Administrator are the same person then the Approve A/L - Approval Mgr button will be hidden…"



        So make both fields the same (put both names in both fields) and the Approval Manager's approval is sort of automatic. Keeping the Approval Manager in both fields gets them a message prior to approval in case there is some exception to be recognized. You can also put only the Administrator name in both fields and the Approval Manager in the CC After field so that they will get a message after approval.


      2. Half Days

        Actually all leave is accumulated to the nearest tenth of an hour. Some implementations really do normally schedule time off in hours: like 1.5 hours for doctor’s appointment. Partial days are calculated by dividing the time off in hours by eight. So, taking off from 0800-1200 would be a half day as would 1300-1700.

        Training may be your best bet.



        HTH,
