How to configure approval chain for leave?

Go to Time Attend > Leave.
Navigate to the Leave Plans tab.
Select the Leave Plan and Leave Type for which you want to configure or change the approval chain.
Open the Three Dot Menu on the right and select Update.
You will be redirected to the Leave Configuration window.
Go to the Approval section, then select Approval Chain.
Here, you can configure the Approval Chain settings by adding different levels of approval.
- For example, set Level 1 as the Reporting Manager and Level 2 as the L2 Manager. Approval at Level 2 can only occur after Level 1 approval.
If you want the system to Auto-approve when an approver is missing, check the box for Auto-approve if approver is missing. This will skip Level 1 and move the request to Level 2.
You can add more approval levels by clicking +Add New Level.
The final level of approval will not be auto-approved. If the final approver does not approve, the HR Manager or Global Admin will need to take action.
Click Save to update the approval chain.

This will allow you to configure and update the leave approval process based on your organizational needs.

What happens if the final approver does not approve the leave request?

In a multi-level approval chain, the leave request completes the approval process only after the required approval levels are completed. The final approval level is not auto-approved when the approver is missing. If the final approver cannot take action, the HR Manager or Global Admin must take action on the request.

Note: Email notification and approval status are separate. Not receiving an email notification does not mean that an approval level has been completed or skipped.
