Search for Time Off Requests

As a Self Service Approver, you can search for time off requests by using specific search criteria. The Pending, Pending Alternate Approval, and Supervisor Approved Request Statuses are automatically selected for you when you first view the Request Processing screen so that you can quickly see requests that require an action from you.  

  1. Enter search criteria in the Request Status and/or Advanced Search fields. Use the information in the Time Off Request Statuses table to complete the Request Status field. Click the Clear button to quickly remove all selections from the Request Status field and the Advanced Search fields. If you leave all search fields blank, all time off requests are returned in the search results.

The time off request status changes to Approved until it is processed in Campus Payroll. Campus Payroll will reduce the approved hours from the employee's balance once the record is extracted.
