Scotts Miracle-Gro Approve or Reject Leave

Approve or Reject Leave

Objective: Successfully approve or reject a leave request. Overview With the implementation of the new SAP time keeping system, vacation and personal leave will no longer be requested and processed using the Vacation Request Form or the Time Administrator. Under the new system, associates and managers will be able to access vacation balance information directly on-line. Vacation data will continue to appear on paychecks.

Process 1. The Associate will submit a leave request that includes the types and dates of the absences requested (vacation or personal time). SAP will automatically validate quota balances. 2. The manager will review the team calendar to determine workforce availability 3. The manager approves or rejects the leave request 4. The associate receives an email via workflow with the leave request rejection/approval notification 5. If approved, the accrual account balance will be updated by SAP and the associate’s timesheet will be updated to include the approved planned absence 6. The associate will review the time statement to ensure that time information has been captured correctly, including exception time

Vacation and Personal days must be requested by associates and be approved/denied by managers in advance of the requested time

Business Rule off. Failure to process in advance will result in a manual correction. Failure to approve/deny vacation or personal day will not delay payroll, however once payroll has run, it is very difficult to change vacation/personal day data for that time period.

Associates may cancel vacation requests on-line at any time provided they do so prior to the close of the pay period. Managers

Business Rule may change a denial status in the system by having the associate re- request vacation/personal day.

If consecutive days of vacation have been requested, the approval/denial will be for the entire set of days (i.e. If 3 days are

Business Rule requested and only 2 days can be approved,,the associate must re- submit a request for 2 days for manager approval).

If an approved vacation/personal day is not used by the associate, the manager must update the system prior to payroll running for that

Business Rule period.

The new vacation and personal day process will only be used initially by associates involved with release one. All other associates will continue to use the Vacation Request form to request vacation or Note personal days.
