In Weplanify, **Requests → To handle** lists everything waiting for your decision: leave, expense claims, advances and form answers. The number next to **To handle**, in the menu, counts these requests.

![Requests → To handle: overdue requests first, two requests ticked](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/weplanify/o/docs%2Fvalidations%2Fmaj-2026-09-28%2Fva-a-traiter-ae4726be.webp?alt=media&token=e91ee703-4526-4304-af09-74bc6ddd9241)

## Steps

1. Open **Requests → To handle**: **Overdue** requests show first, then those **On time**.
2. Filter with the **All**, **Leave**, **Expenses**, **Advances** and **Forms** tabs.
3. Read each line: the request, the requester, the detail (dates and balance after a leave, amount, answers) and how long it has been waiting.
4. Click **Approve**, or **Open** to [read the detail before deciding](https://weplanify.io/docs/validations.valider?lang=en).
5. For several requests, tick them: the bottom bar offers **Approve all …**, with their number, or **Refuse**, with one reason for all.
6. A mistake? Click **Undo** in the message: the decision is only sent after 10 seconds.

## Good to know

- A request is overdue when it has been waiting for more than 24 hours, or longer than its step's reminder delay ([if nobody answers](https://weplanify.io/docs/validations.relances?lang=en)).
- Only the steps you approve show up; "for" followed by a name marks a request submitted [for another employee](https://weplanify.io/docs/validations.soumettre-pour-un-autre?lang=en).
- The dashboard keeps its [To do](https://weplanify.io/docs/tableau-de-bord.demandes-en-attente?lang=en) list, which adds clock-ins without an exit and expired documents.
