In some organisations, employees such as CEOs or managing directors may not have an assigned manager to approve their time off requests. In these cases, an admin can approve time off for these individuals directly. This article will guide you through the process.
When searching for an employee's time off request on the Time off Management page, only direct reports will show up initially. You can use the filters to find other time off requests. For employees with no manager, you must ensure the Reporting personnel filter is set to All personnel.

Who gets emailed when an employee with no manager requests time off?
When an employee has a primary or secondary manager assigned to their employee file, the system automatically sends the time off request email to that manager for review. If no manager is assigned, as in this case, the email is sent to all platform Admins instead.
