Leave requests that reach the right manager in 48 hours

An employee picks the leave type and dates. The request goes to their manager, who has 48 hours to decide. When the manager is away, their delegate decides instead.

What goes wrong today

The wrong manager gets it

Requests go to a shared inbox, and the person who should decide never sees them.

Answers come too late

An employee books travel and still has no reply on their leave.

Cover when managers are away

The approving manager is on leave themselves, and the request waits for their return.

What the template gives you

A new workspace offers ready-made templates on its Policies page. PTO / Leave Request is one of them, and this is what it sets up, ready to edit. You can also build the same policy from scratch.

Make it yours

Each department’s own manager

Point the stage at the manager role in the requester’s department, so requests never cross teams.

Delegation for absences

A manager delegates approvals to a colleague until a set date, then the delegation ends by itself.

HR review for unpaid leave

Add an HR manager stage that runs only when the leave type is Unpaid.

Arabic and English

Field labels can carry an Arabic version, and the whole app works right to left.

Watch it in the app Delegating approvals Hand your approvals to a colleague while you are away: for every policy or just one, with an optional end date, and revoke it at any time.

Questions

Can requests go to the employee’s own manager?

Yes. A stage can route to a role within the requester’s department, so each department’s manager receives their own team’s requests.

What if the manager does not answer in 48 hours?

The deadline is visible on the request, and you can name a role that receives the approval when the SLA passes.

Can a delegation cover one policy only?

Yes. A delegation can cover all policies or a single one, and it ends on the date you set or when it is revoked.

Can we add our own leave types?

Yes. The leave type is a dropdown in the form designer, so you edit its options.
