Set leave and attendance approval routing

Choose who approves leave and attendance corrections, and when HR is alerted about delays.

Approval routing decides who approves Leave requests and Attendance corrections. You can use one level (the reporting manager) or two levels (the reporting manager, then HR).

1. Go to Time & Leave → Leave and stay on Policies & balances.
2. Find the Approval routing panel.
3. For each request type, choose Approvers: Reporting manager, or Reporting manager, then HR.
4. For leave, choose when HR approval is needed: Every leave request, or only for requests of 2, 3 or 5 days or more.
5. Under “Alert HR when a step waits longer than”, choose a response time, or No response time.
6. Select Save routing.

New requests follow the new routing. Requests already submitted keep theirs. Attendance corrections are applied only after the last approval. Only owners, admins and HR can change routing.

Pending requests show their level, for example “Level 1 of 2 · Manager”. If a step passes its response time, it is marked Overdue, and then “Overdue · escalated to HR”.
