Different Approver Levels

THE THREE LEVELS OF APPROVER

There are three Approver user levels which super users can assign to managers, giving the approvers more control over their staff members' leave and overtime. The three options are;

While an approver may be able to add overtime, they cannot cancel it; this must be done by a super user. Approvers are limited to managing their staff members' leave only.

Adding and editing leave on a staff member's behalf will override any restrictions set and bypass the approval process, allowing the approver to  enter leave in the past, on restricted days, or add more leave than the staff member is entitled to. This will also send email notifications to the staff member, their approver and notifiers (depending on the leave type's email settings). There is an article on How to add leave for staff as an approver, for more information.
