Leave Approvers

Set the Default Leave Approver

When the Leave functionality is enabled and you're first configuring it, you'll need to set a default leave approver. This is the user who will be notified of leave requests that are submitted by employees who have not been set with their own individual leave approver in their profile. 

You can select from any of the Staff/Admin users and Approvers that have been set up in your portal.

To set the default leave approver:

1. Go to Config > Leave > Default Leave Approver.

2. Select the Default Leave Approver from the drop-down list. 

3. Click Save.

Set a Leave Approver for an Employee

Employees can have their own leave approver set on their user profile. When this is configured, any requests for leave that are submitted by that employee will be sent to the nominated approver for review. 

To set or edit the leave approver assigned to a specific employee:

1. Go to Users > Employees > select the employee > Leave.

2. Select the approver from the Leave Approver drop-down list.

3. Click Save.

If the default leave approver for the portal has been assigned to the employee, this will show as ‘System Default’. Otherwise, the specific Approver or Staff/Admin will appear by name in the field.
