In some organisations, employees such as CEOs or managing directors may not have an assigned manager to approve their leave requests. In these cases, an admin can approve leave for these individuals directly. This article will guide you through the process.

When searching for an employee's leave request on the Leave Management page, only direct reports will show up initially. You can use the filters to find other leave requests. For employees with no manager, you must ensure the Reporting personnel filter is set to All personnel.

Further information

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