Next Steps

By clicking Submit, the time is routed to your manager for approval. In each Approval step, the Approver will have a variety of options:

• Approve – the process is accepted and if applicable, moves to the next business process.
• Send Back – the process is returned to the employee with a reason for the send back and, once changes are made, it will reroute back to the same approver for approval.
• Deny – the process is terminated. Once the process is denied, it will not continue to the next step and all Workday data is restored to the previous state prior to the request. A reason is also required for a denial of a Time Off Request.

A notification will appear in Workday Notifications notifying of the actions the Approver has taken.
