Introduction to the Leave Request Module

In FastTrack360 there are two ways that an absence from work can be recorded and managed: via absence items on timesheets
by submitting a leave request via the Leave Request module.
Leave requests are submitted via the Leave Request module primarily when there is no timesheet available, which may be the case when a candidate is not actively placed in a job or when the requested leave is for a period in the future.
When leave is recorded via an absence item on a timesheet, FastTrack360 automatically creates an approved leave request in the background when the timesheet is approved via the timesheet approval process in the Time and Attendance module.
The Leave Request module allows leave requests to be captured and approved in those situations where leave is not recorded via an absence item on a timesheet. The Leave Request module can be used by the following types of users:
payees leave proxies
leave administrators.
