Approving leave requests

There are two process flows for approving leaves depending on the type of leave requested.

  • Project manager approval flow

    Project managers affected by ceratain types of leave requests will get to vote whether to approve or reject before final approval is granted.

  • Direct to "HR" for approval flow

    Certain types of time inflexible leaves like bereavement or medical reasons, will go directly for final approval by designated approvers and the project managers are simply notified.

Data-driven approval processes

No matter what type of leave it is missionX will help facilitate the approval process of leaves by providing clarity and transparency to all stakeholders involved. The goal being to reduce risk, get leaves approved quickly and effieciently and avoid disappointments.
