UK Payroll - Notification when leave requests are created for the same date
Flag duplicate leave entries on the same day
We are extracting leave data through API to manage resourcing including leave booked. We have a few cases of employees with duplicate leave on the same day entered and approved in error. It would be great to see a flag or warning pop up to approvers and payroll admins where more than a standard number of hours leave is applied to a given day. The number of hours comprising a working day could ideally be set for each employee.

Hi, we have a similar situation where employees are requesting leave via Xero Me, but it is allowing them to request dates that have already been booked and approved. Once leave is requested for a certain date, it should block it from request again. If the request on that date needs hours changing then you can always edit the original request, but it shouldn't allow an extra request for the same dates. I've never actually approved a duplicate leave request as I've caught them, but I imagine it would allow it and then potentially if nobody spots it then the employee could be losing out on leave balance. There really should be validation in for this.
