When your India EOR employees submit leave requests, those requests land on your Leave Requests page for review. This guide explains how to work through incoming requests and approve or reject them. (The page is titled “Leave Requests” in the product; this article keeps the “Leave Approvals” name for the workflow.)

​
Opening the Leave Requests page

The Leave Requests page lives at /employer/eor/leave. Its header reads Leave Requests with the subtitle “Review and manage employee leave requests”. Open it directly, then use the ← Back to EOR Dashboard button to return to your Home dashboard. From this page you can also click Manage Policies in the top right to jump to Leave Policies, where you set up your company’s leave rules.

​
What the page shows

This page is a pending queue. It loads only the requests still awaiting your decision, so it is a to-do list rather than a history of leave. The Pending summary card at the top is the count of requests waiting on you, and Total is the number of rows currently loaded.
The page has Approved and Rejected cards and filter tabs, but because only pending requests are loaded, they stay at zero and their tabs show an empty list. Once you approve or reject a request it disappears from the queue: it is not moved into an Approved or Rejected tab here. To check what happened to a past request, ask the employee to look at their own Leave Balance page, which lists their full request history with statuses.
When there is nothing waiting on you, the list displays an empty state with a View Policies action that links to Leave Policies.

​
Reviewing a request

Each request row shows:

​
Approving a request

1

Find the request

Every row on the page is awaiting a decision.
2

Click Approve

Click Approve on the row.
3

The row leaves the queue

The queue reloads and the request drops off it, because it is no longer pending.
Approving the request updates the employee’s leave balance automatically: the days move from pending to used.

​
Rejecting a request

A rejection requires a reason, so the employee understands why.
1

Click Reject

Click Reject on the pending request.
2

Enter a reason

A reason field appears. Type a clear, specific reason. This is required; the Reject button stays disabled until you enter one.
3

Confirm the rejection

Click Reject to confirm.
The request is recorded as rejected with your reason and drops off the queue. Rejecting does not deduct from the employee’s balance, since days are only deducted on approval.
Always give a meaningful rejection reason. Generic responses like “denied” create confusion. Be specific, for example “Team coverage is insufficient during this period” or “Please resubmit for the following week”.

​
Mobile view

On smaller screens, requests appear as stacked cards instead of a table, with the same details and the same Approve and Reject actions.

​
Frequently asked questions

No. Each request is handled individually so you review the details before deciding.
The request is approved and the employee’s balance updates: the requested days move from pending to used for that leave type. The row then disappears from the queue.
No. A request can only be approved or rejected while it is pending, and a decided request no longer appears on this page. If you need to reverse a decision, contact Omnivoo support.
Not on this page: it only loads pending requests. The employee sees their own full history, with statuses, on their Leave Balance page.
There is nothing to restore. The balance is only deducted on approval, so a rejected request leaves the balance unchanged.
Employees can request a half day when they need only part of the day off. A half-day counts as 0.5 days against the balance and is marked “(half)” in the Days column.
