Sometimes prices increase, or services sell out if you don’t book them straight away, or if you are waiting for approval.

To avoid this, Perk allows you to determine how you manage out-of-office approvals, letting you choose who will manage your travel approval requests while you're on holiday or away from the office. You can set your out-of-office dates and choose a person to act as a travel delegate while you’re away.

Your company may have chosen to automatically synchronize your out-of-office from the HR tool. Any time you add any leave in your HR platform, Perk displays these out-of-office dates automatically. Any edits to your out-of-office dates must be made directly in your HR platform. However, you can set a travel delegate to approve any travel requests while you’re away.

Tip: To help you avoid delays, price increases, and sold-out trips, plan ahead and prioritize approval requests. To learn more, see Set up an approval process.

Managing your travel delegate and out-of-office dates
