Concept: Leave of Absence Business Processes
Workday provides 2 business processes for leaves of absence:
- Request Leave of Absence
- Request Return from Leave of Absence
Configure the business process definitions for your organizations to route requests to the appropriate roles for review and approval. You can also add steps for specific roles.
This table lists the steps you can add to each business process. All are action steps, except the
