Leave Requirements
Employees are required to request leave and have it approved if Must Request Leave is selected on the tab for that employee's timesheet class.
Until the approval occurs, the leave request is considered "pending." Pending leave is color-coded differently from scheduled leave in the work schedule calendar and also appears in the list under Pending Leave Requests.
When the employee's supervisor approves a pending leave request, the leave becomes "scheduled," and the status change is reflected in the work schedule calendar.
If the Must Request Leave check box is not checked for an employee's timesheet class, leave can be scheduled without prior approval in Time and Expense with ESS.
If you have "browse only" access to the Work Schedules screen but are assigned to a timesheet class that requires entry of leave requests, you can request leave using the screen, but except for that, you can only view information.
