Manager approvals

Sage People integration for Microsoft Teams and Outlook must be configured for your organization before you can use it. If you don't have access, contact your administrator.

Managers can access the List pending approvals command, which displays a card showing all outstanding absence requests.

Depending on the type of absence requests, the list may be split into 3 sections:

  • Vacation requests: review requests individually to approve or reject them, or select Approve all vacations to bulk approve them.

  • Other absences: other absence types such as jury duty, or sickness with a confirmed end date. Review requests individually to approve or reject them.

  • Provisional end dates: absences with an uncertain end date, such as sickness. You can confirm or reject these absences, and optionally adjust the end date.

Note

If you have more than 20 pending approvals, a link is shown enabling you to continue to your WX self-service portal in your browser to review them.
