A department request is essentially a holiday request booked over a set period of time and applies to a specified department. To view all Department Requests, select the Department Requests option under Absence on the HR Hub:
To Add a new Department Request, click the + icon:
You can then fill out all the relevant information:
- Authorised by: The default is yourself, however, this can be changed if required.
- Name: The name of the Department Request, for example: Christmas Shutdown
- Type: This is the leave type that the department request should display as, for example: Annual Leave
- Status: This dictates whether the request displays as Approved, Cancelled or Pending on the employees calendar
- Re-Run: If 'Yes' is selected this will remove all requests and put them back in if records are
already present - Restrict to working times only: If 'Yes' is selected this means the request is restricted to an employees working pattern
- Date/Date Range: The department request can be added for one or multiple dates using the date range option.
The Applies To tab enabled you to select who the Department Request applies to. You can select this via Department, Teams, Public Holiday Categories or Employment Policies.
There is also the option to include or exclude specific employees.
