*Approve Leave Applications*

## What you'll see

- **Pending Leave Approvals** — every leave application waiting for you, with the employee, leave type, period and **Date of Request**.
- **Leave Application Details** — select an application to see the code, name, department, leave type, period, number of days, frequency and reason.

## Approve or reject

1. **Select the applications** — Tick one or more applications.
2. **Add a comment** — A comment is required before you approve or reject — the employee sees it.
3. **Approve or reject** — Select **Approve Selected** or **Reject Selected**. You'll see **Action Complete** with the number processed.

You can also act on a single application with the approve (✓) or reject (✗) icon on its row.

## Edit the dates, then approve

If you can approve only part of the request — say three days instead of five:

1. **Open Edit & Approve** — Select **Edit & Approve** on the application.
2. **Adjust the dates** — In **Edit & Approve Leave**, change the **Start Date** and **End Date**.
3. **Approve** — Add your comment and approve. The employee's balance is charged for the adjusted dates only.

> **Tip:** Select **Approver Information** to see who else is in the approval chain for that application.
