Business Process: Approve Vacation Request

An employee from MicMac $($MM$)$ retail store wants to take a vacation.

Employee sends an email to the supervisor requesting a pre$-$approved

vacation with the start date and the end date $($e$.$g$.,$ Oct. $21$ to $25,2019).$

The supervisor responds to the email by either accepting or rejecting the

request. The supervisor logs all the accepted decisions in a $$list of pre$-$

approvals$$ spreadsheet.

If the employee$$s request is not approved, the employee is notified and the

workflow ends. If the employee receives an approved email, the next step is

to research and find a desirable vacation. If a desirable location is not found,

the employee sends a cancellation of $$pre$-$approved$$ vacation to the

supervisor. Then, the supervisor removes the cancelled vacation from the

$$list of pre$-$approvals$$ spreadsheet and the workflow ends.

If a desirable location is found, the employee calls the travel agent and

books a vacation $($e$.$g$,$ air travel, car rental and hotel, as required$).$ When

the employee receives the booking confirmation from the travel agency

$($via email$),$ the employee logs in to the MM Vacation Request $($MMVR$)$

application and submits an official vacation request. The application sends

an email notification to the supervisor. The supervisor approves the official

vacation request after comparing the request to the $$list of pre$-$approvals$$

spreadsheet. Once officially approved, the MMVR application simultaneously

notifies the employee and sends an email notification to the Human

Resources department for them to record the vacation days in order to

calculate any payroll adjustments for the pay period affected by the

approved vacation and the workflow ends.
