Time off approvers
Time off approvers, under Settings → People → Time off approvers, decide who approves each person's time off requests.
Approvers are resolved in this order:
- Explicit approver — someone assigned directly to the person; overrides everything else.
- Supervisor — the reports-to set on the person's profile.
- Department manager — the manager of the person's department, if one is set.
- Fallback — any user with the time off manager role, used when nothing else matches.
Use Assign approvers to override the automatic rule for an individual team member.
