Each step has
Each step has
a place.
An employee selects a leave type, dates and reason, then submits a request. The list can show its status and details. At review, an approver can approve or reject; rejection asks for a reason.

THE REVIEW STAGE
Make the reason

part of the record.
A request's status shows its progress. When an approver rejects a leave request, they provide a reason that explains the decision.
Approved leave is deducted from the employee's available balance. Requests can be cancelled before approval.

LEAVE QUESTIONS
Know what
Know what
happens next.
Understand approval routing, balance deductions and when a request can be cancelled.
Can employees request a half-day or short-day?
Yes. HR Nova supports half-day and short-day requests alongside leave, attendance and work-from-home requests.
Does approval update a leave balance?
Yes. Leave is deducted from the employee's available balance once the request is approved.
Can a request be cancelled?
Yes. A leave request can be cancelled before it is approved.
Can every manager approve?
No. Administrators can configure approval levels and the approval hierarchy. Email notifications are sent only to the designated approvers in that hierarchy, who can approve or reject the request.
