As a manager, you can now handle your employees’ absence applications directly in our new app. You receive a notification when a new application comes in, review it in a few seconds and approve or reject it on the spot. This means you don’t need to switch apps or log in to the web version to give your employees a decision.
A notification when an application is waiting for you
When an employee submits an absence application that you need to approve, you receive a notification in the app. Tap the notification to go straight to the application, so you can make a decision right away.
Pending applications are also shown in the To-do card. From there, you can reach the list of all applications waiting for your decision.
All pending applications in one place
If you have several applications to process, you see them all together in a single list. The list is sorted by start date, so the absence that is closest in time is always shown first. This lets you see at a glance which applications are most urgent.
Approve or reject with a single tap
Once you have reviewed the application, you choose to approve or reject it.
- If you approve the application, it is marked as approved and the employee is notified.
- If you reject the application, you can write a comment before confirming the rejection, for example to explain why or to suggest a different period. The comment is optional. The employee is notified of the rejection, along with your comment.
See the applications you have processed
Want to go back and see what you have decided? In the app, you can see the applications you have processed in the last 30 days.
For administrators
Notifications to managers and employees are controlled by the reminder setting for absence applications in Flex HRM. There are no new settings to configure.
Faster decisions for your employees
Approving absence is one of the most common tasks you have as a manager, and often one of the most time-sensitive. When you can handle applications directly on your phone, the moment the notification arrives, your employees get a decision faster and can plan their time off with confidence. And you have more time for other things.
The feature is available in our new app today.
