Approvals & your team
Approving requests, delegation, approval rules and blackout periods.
- Approve or decline requests Work through pending leave in Rotaleave's Approvals page — coverage warnings, override reasons, declining kindly and amending requests.
- Approval rules How Rotaleave decides who approves leave: the default ladder from team to department to admins, and multi-level approval policies.
- Delegate approvals while you're away Set approval cover in Rotaleave so pending leave requests route to a delegate while you're out — additive, dated and auditable.
- Blackout periods Embargo leave over critical dates in Rotaleave — block or warn on new requests, scoped to the whole org, a department or a team.
- Coverage rules and limits Set minimum-cover rules by skill, cap how many people in a department can be off at once, and read the coverage board.
- Privacy blocks Hide one person's leave from a named colleague, even a manager or admin: what a block covers on the wall chart, approvals and emails, and what it misses.
