Purpose: This guide enables you to seamlessly approve or deny requests, ensuring smooth workflow management and enhanced team coordination. Empower yourself to efficiently manage employee time off requests with BambooHR's mobile app.
Notification: Time Off Requested
When an employee submits a new time off request, you will receive a notification on your mobile device as long as you have notifications turned on for the Mobile App, through your phone settings.
View time off requests
When you log in to the mobile app, you can go to your inbox to view all requests.
Approve a request from your inbox
Tap on a request to approve or deny it. If needed, you and the employee can comment back and forth on the request. From the comment screen, you can approve or deny the request.
If an employee requests time off that will put them in a negative balance, you will see this message with the negative hours amount highlighted in red across the top.
If you have Edit access to the specific time off category that a request is under, you can see the employee's time off balance as of that date.
Once you take action on a request from the comment screen, you will see a notification regarding the update. You can add any additional comments if needed.
