Approving leave
Approve or decline your team's leave, and answer requests to cancel approved leave.
Updated 15 October 2026
What you’ll do: decide on leave requests from your team.
Who can do this: managers. HR uses the same screen.
Steps
- In Dexta Time, open Leave requests under Team.
- The table Waiting on you lists each request with its dates and type. Check Team leave calendar to see who else is out.
- Click Approve.
- Or click Decline, give a Reason and click Decline request. The employee sees your reason.
- A row tagged Asks to cancel is someone asking to cancel leave you approved: click Cancel leave or Keep leave.
Good to know
- Decided recently shows what you’ve already approved or declined.
- Approved leave greys out those days on the person’s timesheet, and unpaid leave reaches Dexta Pay as loss of pay.
