  • Need to set either EmpID or Filekey value within the TAeTimeOffRequest structure
  • Not supplying a StartDate will default it to 12/30/99
  • Not supplying a BenefitID will default it to zero
  • his method is used when a custom email notification to the supervisor(s) is required upon submission of a new leave request
  • The linkback parameter is used to specify a link to be included in the notification email. This allows the recipient to be returned to a screen displaying the request
