This article will show you how to approve supported employee time off requests via the "Time Off Request Notification" email and the Global Work Platform™.

Approving or Reviewing Time-Off Requests via the "Time Off Request Notification" Email

Each time a supported employee submits a time-off request for review, the supported employee's PTO Manager will receive an email titled "Time-Off Request Notification." The email includes an "approve" button, a breakdown of the requested dates, the notes provided by the Supported employee, and an overview of their current balance. PTO Managers can approve time off requests directly from the "Time Off Request Notification" Email.

Step 1. Open the "Time Off Request Notification" email.

In the email, you will have a Review or Approve button. Both of these options require you to sign in to the Global Work Platform. The difference is that the Approve button automatically approves, while the Review button allows you to reject.

Step 2. Login to the Global Work Platform™ to be redirected to the Time Off Request.

If you have difficulty logging into the Global Work Platform™, please reference the "I'm having login issues" article.

Step 3. The time off request will now be automatically opened.

It will appear as "Approved," or you can choose to "Reject." You can see the details and notes that were included in the email.
