Frequently Asked Questions
When an employee submits a leave request through HRism, the application automatically routes the request to their assigned line manager's approval inbox. The manager receives an instant notification and inspects the details, including requested dates, leave category, and team coverage calendars. Once the manager reviews the submission, they approve or reject the request with optional feedback comments, which immediately updates the employee's leave status and quota balance in real time.
