Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ) #
Kann ich Abwesenheitsanträge für Nutzer außerhalb meines Teams oder Projekts genehmigen? #

Was passiert, wenn ein Teammitglied nicht genug Urlaub auf seinem Saldo hat?
This depends on the policy setting:
- If the Allow negative balance option is enabled in the policy, the request can proceed (you can set a limit on negative hours/days allowed).
- If the option is not enabled, the request will be automatically denied due to insufficient balance.
Werden meine Teammitglieder benachrichtigt, wenn ihr Abwesenheitsantrag genehmigt oder abgelehnt wird?
Yes, team members receive email notifications when their requests are acted upon. Managers are also notified when requests are submitted and when they are processed.
