It is necessary to keep track of the time an employee spends away from the office during office hours. The reason for spending time away can be official or personal such as visiting a customer site, visiting a bank, or working from home. The process of tracking these hours can help in understanding your team members’ productivity.

The **Regularization & Permission** page in the greytHR **Admin** portal helps you to apply for permission on behalf of an employee if he/she is not able to apply for permission. Applying for permission helps the employees to avoid attendance regularization. It also helps the managers to plan to work better and avoid delays in deliverables.

To view the **Regularization & Permission** page, navigate to **Leave** \> **Information** \> **Regularization & Permission**.

You can perform the following actions on the Permissions page:

1. Apply for permission on behalf of an employee.

3. Apply for post permission on behalf of an employee.
4. Delete the post permission application.
