Route time off requests for approval

Useful for
HR teams managing leave policy compliance, people managers approving direct reports' time off, and employees who want a timely decision on their requests.

Problem

Before approving a time off request, managers and HR teams manually look up the employee's remaining balance in the HR system and check the requested dates against the team's existing approved time off. Doing this for every submission slows the decision down, and coverage conflicts are only caught if someone remembers to check.

Solution

When a time off request is submitted, the automation looks up the employee's remaining balance in the HR system and checks the requested dates against the team's already approved time off in the team calendar, then routes the request to the manager with the balance and any overlapping absences attached.
