Time-Off Requests - Manager Permissions

As an Administrator, you can control exactly what actions Managers can take when handling Time-Off Requests for their employees. These permissions are managed in the Time-Off Module under:

Account Settings → Time-Off Request tab

Manager Permission Options

1. Manager Cancellations

  • Allow Managers to cancel past time-off requests made by users they manage.

2. Substitute Managers

  • Substitute Managers will only receive email notifications for new requests if all main managers are away that day.

  • A Manager is considered a substitute when the Emails checkbox is left unchecked in the Management tab under the User Settings page.

3. Managers Submitting Requests for Users

Choose which users Managers can submit requests for:

  • Only users they directly manage (default)
  • Users they manage plus their hierarchy
  • Users they manage, their hierarchy, and their department
  • Users they manage plus their department
  • Users they manage plus their office
  • Users they manage, their office, and their department
  • All users in the account

4. Managers Overriding Deductions

  • By default, Managers can choose to deduct hours or not when approving or submitting a request.
  • Turning this off will require deductions for all requests.

5. Managers Overriding Emails

  • By default, Managers can choose whether to send an email notification when actioning a request.
  • Turning this off forces an email to be sent automatically.

6. Managers Overriding Negatives

  • When enabled, Managers can submit a request on behalf of a user even if that user does not have enough balance.

7. Managers Overriding Time-Off or Type Restrictions

  • When enabled, Managers can override Time-Off restrictions and/or specific Time-Off Type restrictions when submitting requests on behalf of users.
