ExponentHR includes functionality to request and report your leave (time-off) hours, such as vacation time. You can send a request to your manager for a future date or report hours previously taken.
Your
family is planning a long weekend a month from now, and you want
to be sure you can take a day of leave at that time. Submit the
request to your manager to see if she will approve it. |
Leave statusstatus will change during the pay period as your leave is reviewed by your manager. However, at the end of the Pay Period, all reported leave will be automatically submitted to payroll whether it has been approved by your manager or not.
Requested: You requested leave in ExponentHR. Your manager’s review and approval is pending.
Approved: Your manager reviewed and approved your request. No further action is needed.
Rejected: Your manager reviewed and rejected your request. Accompanying notes will detail why your manager rejected it. You may delete the request after it is rejected. If you do not delete it, ExponentHR deletes it automatically at the end of the applicable payroll period.
Late Entry: You reported leave for a past date in ExponentHR. This bypasses the approval process. Your manager will review the leave you reported at the end of the current pay period.
Mgmt Entry: Your manager reported leave on your behalf in ExponentHR. This bypasses the approval process. No further action is needed.
Auto-Approved: Your manager did not act on the leave you requested by the end of the applicable pay period (it was not Approved or Rejected). As a result, the ExponentHR system changed the leave status from Requested to Auto-Approved and will export the time to payroll.
