Allowance Requests Fields

Create and submit allowance requests if you need to add absence time to your available pool of time. For example, if you put in extra hours on a project, you might ask for compensation of those hours as time-in-lieu, and you can state the reason in the Reason field on the request.

Allowance Requests Tab

After the request is submitted, it is approved or rejected. If it's approved, the approver can put restrictions on the allowance, such as that the newly allowed time-in-lieu day is only available for the next two weeks.

Note: An allowance request is different from an absence request. The former will add days to the employee's pool of available absence, while the latter is used to book an actual absence period.

Use the Allowance Requests tab to create a new allowance request, specifying the number of days, the absence type, and a reason for requesting this allowance. For example, request five time-in-lieu days with a reason as well as the job number for a project on which you work.
