How to Approve Leave (Roster Builder)

How to Approve Leave Requests (Roster Builder)

1. Go to Leave Planner (Sidebar → Leave Planner)
2. View Pending Requests for your craft groups
3. Open a request to see details
4. Review the AI coverage analysis:
   • How many staff are already on leave that week
   • Coverage gaps this would create
   • Critical shifts affected
   • Suggested alternative dates (if any)
5. Choose one of:
   • Approve – confirms the leave
   • Suggest Alternative – proposes different dates
   • Reject – denies with a reason

Important: Approved leave automatically blocks the staff from being rostered on those dates. If they were already assigned, you'll see a conflict warning.
