Workday - Time Off Requests In Progress/Pending

Please note that time off requests have an additional step that confirms the hours to be sent to the Central Payroll Bureau (CPB). The time off will still display as “In Progress” or “Pending” until a Time and Absence CPB Approver posts the hours during payroll processing. This process does not preclude the employee from taking the time off. The employee will receive a notification once a Time and Absence CPB Approver confirms the hours, and the time off will display as “Successfully Completed”.

Therefore, employees will see the status of requests as “In Progress” or “Pending”, even after approved by a Supervisor, until the entire process for payroll has completed.
