Apply for permission

Whenever an employee visits the customer site or punches in late in the office for any reason, he/she needs to regularize the attendance for that particular day.
The Permissions page in the greytHR ESS portal helps you to apply for permission in advance. Applying for permission helps you to avoid the regularization of attendance for a particular day and keep the managers informed. The page displays Apply, Pending, and History tabs.

You can perform the following actions on the Permissions page:

1. Apply permission for a past date.

2. Apply permission for a current date.

3. Apply permission for a future date.

To view the Permission page, click Attendance > Permissions.
