Usage​

Leave Request Approvals​

Managers can review leave requests from employees who report to them:

  • View all leave requests with type, dates, status, and requester name
  • Filter by status (pending, approved, rejected)
  • Approve or reject requests with optional comments
  • Approved requests automatically update the employee's leave balance

Expense Request Approvals​

Managers can review expense claims from their team:

  • View all expense requests with type, amount, date, and requester name
  • Filter by status and date
  • Approve with an optional approved amount (can differ from requested amount)
  • Reject with optional comments

How It Works​

This module is a mobile-only API module with no web interface. It provides API endpoints used by the Employee mobile app to allow managers to act on pending requests from their direct reports. The module identifies subordinates by checking which employees have the logged-in user set as their reporting_to_id.
