What's new to Human resources

Online leave applications can now be approved by multiple job positions at your organisation. For each job position, you can define the level of approval authority by selecting an option from the Leave Application Approval Authority drop-down list on the General tab of Job Position Maintenance.

There are three levels of approval:

• Cannot approve leave applications
• Can approve leave applications that do not require elevated permission
• Can approve any level of leave application.

Note: You can define leave applications that require elevated permission using the ElevatedLeaveApprovalRequiredFlag field of the luPayrollLeave lookup table.

You can use the Leave Date of Return is Last Day of Leave field on the Payroll tab of Synergetic Financial Maintenance to configure whether employees return to work on their last day of leave or the first day of work after leave.

Leave-related tabs and windows display the last day of leave as the

• Finish Date or Last Day when this field is selected
• Return Date or Date Return when this field is deselected.

Leave applications are submitted using the My Leave tab of the Staff Kiosk. See Submitting leave application requests.

When a staff member submits a leave application, Synergetic automatically generates the Manager receiving a leave application Action Centre message to notify the manager with leave approval authority.

Note: Leave approval authority is determined using a leave approval hierarchy defined using the General tab of Job Position Maintenance. For more information, see /wiki/spaces/SYNMAIN/pages/2294745836.
