View All Absence Requests Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to scroll through 31 days at a time and view the days submitted, approved, and/or rejected for multiple absence requests for one or more employees.

A separate row in the month grid displays for each employee and for each type of absence for an employee. The days are color coded so you can quickly see submitted, approved, and/or rejected days. This can help you see overlapping days for which you may not have staff coverage in the office.

• Absence requests are currently assigned to you to approve.
• You are the supervisor of employees. (You are specified in the Supervisor field on the General tab in the Employee Info Center for one or more employees.)
• You are a timesheet group, company, or system administrator (designated in the Administration section of the Time Tab in the Employee Info Center).
