Approving Time Off Requests (Mobile App)

Quickly approve Time Off requests from your mobile

Updated over 3 weeks ago

If you're a time off approver, you can review and approve requests directly from the mobile app – no need to wait until you're at a computer. The mobile approval process is quick and simple.


Approve Time Off

  1. Open the Chime app on your mobile device

  2. Tap the To-Dos tile from the home screen (this tile only appears if you're an approver)

  3. You'll see a list of time off requests awaiting your approval

  4. Tap on a request to view the details:

    • Employee name and request type

    • Dates requested and duration

    • Any comments from the employee

    • Other people off around the same time

  5. Choose an action:

    • Approve: Tap the green Approve button

    • Decline: Tap the Decline button and add a reason if required

    • Withdraw: If needed, can withdraw the request for individual (if they decide to cancel their request)

  6. Optional: Add a comment before approving or rejecting

The request is now processed and the employee will see the updated status immediately on their app.


Use Case

This feature is predominantly used by:

  • Site Managers who are often on-site and away from desks

  • Contract Managers who move between sites and prefer mobile access

  • Line Managers who want to quickly approve requests while on the go

  • Any approver who needs to process requests outside of office hours

The mobile approval process is ideal for busy managers who need to make quick decisions without accessing a computer. It's just as powerful as the desktop version but optimised for on-the-go use.


πŸ’‘ Tips

  • Check the "who else is off" information before approving to ensure adequate site coverage

  • The mobile app is perfect for quick approvals, but use desktop for more complex situations requiring detailed review
