- A notification is sent to the Reporting Manager via email that the reportees have applied for the specific request. Simultaneously, the employee also receives the email on the request raised.
- The Reporting Manager will approve /decline the request either directly through the email notification or log into ESS and accordingly approve/decline the request.
- An email notification will be sent to your reportees that you have approved/declined the claim and the request will be processed accordingly.
