❏ After completing your leave request entry, use one of the following options to continue:

Click Submit and Add to submit the leave request to your supervisor for approval and remain on the Create Leave Requests window to continue adding additional leave request entries.
Click Submit and Close to submit the leave request to your supervisor for approval and close the Create Leave Requests window.

A leave request is created and an email message is sent to your direct supervisor to notify them that a leave request is pending their approval.
Depending on the leave type, additional approvers may be in the approval path for the leave request.
If you are set as the temporary approver for your supervisor, and you enter a leave request when your supervisor is unavailable, the request is submitted to your supervisor's supervisor. You are not allowed to approve your own leave requests.
When a leave request is approved or disapproved, an email message is automatically sent to the email address listed on your demographic record notifying you of the action.
If your leave request is approved, the approval email message will contain links to add your approved leave request as a calendar event in Outlook and Google.

Click X or Cancel to close the pop-up window without submitting any leave requests and return to the Leave Requests page.
