How do I enable leave requests as an administrator?

Question

How do I enabled leave requests as an administrator?

Answer

Background

In Pacific Timesheet, you can enable Leave Requests so employees can request time off from the managers. Managers can approve or reject leave requests with detailed approval or rejection comments. Once approved, leave requests become a scheduled event which will automatically push the scheduled approved leave onto employee timesheets in the future. 

Enabling Leave Requests

When you setup a pay code profile, e.g., Vacation, you can set "Can Request" to "Yes." Setting it to "No" will mean users will not be able to request that leave pay code.

To enable Can Request for a pay code:  

1. Navigate to System>Pay Codes (Pay Types, etc.)
2. Click on the pay code and then Edit.
3. Check the Can Request check box to enable the requests feature for that pay code. Remember that only leave pay codes have the Can Request option. Work pay codes will not display this option. 
4. Once you enable at least one pay code this way, a New Leave Request link will appear below the scheduled events area of the Home page for users with permission to leave pay codes.
