This page is used to approve or disapprove employee WorkJournal requests.
If an submits a WorkJournal request, an email message is automatically sent to the email address listed on your demographic record prompting you to take action on the request. Therefore, it is important that all approvers in the approval path have an email address listed on their demographic record in Personnel.
If this page is not enabled, check with your EmployeePortal administrator as the LEA may have opted to not allow access.

❏ Under Supervisor Action, select the appropriate action (Approve, Disapprove, or No Action).
❏ The Comment Log text box is enabled if Approve or Disapprove is selected. Type any comments related to the leave request.
- If you approve the leave request, a comment is not required.
- If you disapprove the leave request, a comment is required. This comment is included in the email message that is sent to the employee notifying them of the action taken.
❏ Click Save. If you are the final approver, an email message is sent to the employee notifying them of the action (approved/disapproved) taken on the request.
- If the request is approved or disapproved, the request is no longer displayed in the list of pending leave requests.

Admin Note: The payroll department will use the Utilities > Import Online Leave Requests page in the ASCENDER Payroll application to import the leave request(s) from EmployeePortal and create a leave transmittal to be processed by payroll. After a leave transmittal has been created in Payroll, the employee can no longer edit or delete the leave request.
