# Approvals

As an employee with direct reports, managing approvals for leave requests and attendance regularization is an essential part of your role. The employee portal provides a streamlined process for you to handle these approvals efficiently, ensuring that your team’s records are accurate and up-to-date.

Approving leave requests is crucial for maintaining team coordination and managing resources effectively. Here’s how you can review and approve leave requests from your direct reports efficiently.

*   Navigate to the **Approvals** section from the side menu.
*   Select the **Leave** tab to view pending leave requests.
*   Select a pending leave request to view details such as the duration, leave type, and reason.
*   Use the **Approve** or **Reject** buttons to take action on the request.

## Approving Attendance Regularization
