PRODUCT / LEAVE REQUESTS
Give leave requests a clear path to decision.
Employees need a straightforward way to raise an absence. Approvers need to see what is pending and record the decision. HR Nova provides leave request and review screens for those steps.

REQUEST, REVIEW, RESOLVEEach step has
Each step has
a place.
An employee selects a leave type, dates and reason, then submits a request. The list can show its status and details. At review, an approver can approve or reject; rejection asks for a reason.
See what is pending
Filter and review requests in a queue, including selected items assigned through the UI.
Record the outcome
Approve or reject with a reason; a cancellation action appears where eligible.
THE REVIEW STAGEMake the reason
Make the reason
part of the record.
A request’s status makes the next step visible. When an approver rejects a leave request, the UI asks for a reason that explains the decision.
Quota changes, cancellation effects and server-enforced approver rules need runtime testing before they become product promises.

QUESTIONS TO TESTLook beyond
Look beyond
the screen.
Use a normal request and an exception to test each step with synthetic data.
Can employees request a half-day or short-day?
Yes. HR Nova supports half-day and short-day requests alongside leave, attendance and work-from-home requests.
Does approval update a leave balance?
Yes. Leave is deducted from the employee's available balance once the request is approved.
Can a request be cancelled?
Yes. A leave request can be cancelled before it is approved.
Can every manager approve?
No. Administrators can configure approval levels and the approval hierarchy. Email notifications are sent only to the designated approvers in that hierarchy, who can approve or reject the request.
