START WITH THE ACTUAL WORK
Why connect staff attendance & leave?
A leave decision affects entitlement and coverage. Approving the request without its timetable or departmental context leaves colleagues solving the gap later.

A WORKED EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO
Approved leave still needs classroom cover
A teacher’s leave request falls on an examination day. Approval affects staffing, invigilation and possibly payroll treatment.
The decision and its context
Check the working pattern, leave category, entitlement and authorization. Coordinate cover separately so an approved absence does not imply the teaching or examination responsibility has been reassigned.
What a complete outcome looks like
The employee should know the decision; the academic owner should know who covers the work. Payroll receives only the approved absence treatment it needs.

Useful questions about staff attendance & leave.
Do colleagues need to see the reason for leave?
Usually they need the availability and coverage arrangement. Sensitive supporting information should remain with authorized HR or reviewers.
How are people prepared for a new workflow?
Use role-based practice with realistic tasks, accessible instructions, and a named support route. Confirm who owns changes to relationships, responsibilities, and permissions.
