Time off approvers are who approve time off requests made by other employees. You can specify who you want to be a time off approver for a specific employee.
For example, you can select an employee's time off approver to be whoever is their direct manager.
You can edit the time off approver for just one employee or you can select multiple employees and edit their time approver at the same time.
Click your name in the top right, then click Settings.
On the settings menu, select Time off, then select Time off approvers.
Under Actions, click the pencil icon next to the employee.
📌TIP: If you want to amend multiple employees' time off approvers at the same time, you can select them, then click Change time off approvers. The time off approvers you assign then apply to those selected employees.
Choose who you want to approve that employee's time off requests. You can select from:
Administrators
Direct manager
Team manager
Individual approvers
To select a specific person, click the blank space below Individual approvers. Scroll or type the name to find the person.
The person you select can approve that employee’s time off requests regardless of their role.

If you don’t want the employee to have their time off requests automatically approved, leave this option clear.
