Leave Monitor is an automated system and there are not any daily/monthly administrative works to follow. The system needs be configured only once. As an administrator, it is important that you provide the correct information when you fill up the template files at the beginning. After that you do not have any daily/monthly work. You need to use your admin account only for these following items.
1. Add the details of any new recruits.
2. If any user wants to delete any authorized leave.
3. Download a report.
4. If there any changes in your leave policy (Our support team can help you to do this).

We normally provide one administrative account for every subscription if your subscription has less than 50 user accounts. It is only to prevent the overwriting of subscription settings from different admin accounts. But if you need, you can add more admin account from the primary admin account.

Once user log in to their account, they will see a help section that will cover most of the function of the system. We normally provide a user guide to the administrator and managers to understand the flow. Admin can also submit any query through the help section.

Once the administrator setup everything correctly, normal users can start using the system straight way. Every employees account will be configured with a manager’s account/admin account to authorize the request. The basic flow of the system is that the employee will apply for a leave and the associate manager/admin will authorize the request. Here is the flow
--- Employee login to Leave Monitor and submits a leave/travel/expense request.
---Our system checks the associate manager of the employee and sends an email to the manager’s email address.
--- Manager log into Leave Monitor and see the request in the pending request list of the home page. Manager either authorizes or declines the request.
---Employee receives a confirmation email from the system about the decision. Employee can see the up to date information in Leave Monitor.

If you are set as a manager of any employee, you need to authorize/decline your employees leave request. Once an employee applies for a leave, you will receive an email from Leave Monitor to take action. So you need to login to the system and check the request details from the pending request list. You can do any of the following

1. If you are happy with the leave time, just authorize the request.
2. If you need more information, add a note and change the status to in progress. Our system will send the note to the employee to provide the additional information.
3. If you do not want to let your employee to go to leave on that time, decline the request.
4. If you can’t take the decision, assign this to another manager. 

Yes. You can use the administrator account as a manager’s account. In this case, admin account needs to be selected as a manager of the employee.
