How do I approve a leave request? (Connect Online)
Review and approve leave requests from employees in your department. When an employee submits a leave request, Connect sends the leave request to the approval process. You'll receive a notification to let you know there's a leave request waiting for approval. Approving or denying the leave request will send a notification to the employee.
