When an employee submits a leave request, Timebutler starts the approval workflow. The supervisor receives an email notification about the leave request. If the employee has [multiple supervisors(/frequently-asked-questions/user-accounts/assign-multiple-supervisors/) assigned, the multi-level approval workflow runs.
The email to the supervisor contains two buttons to approve or reject the leave request with a single click. The supervisor can also view and edit open leave requests by signing in to Timebutler and clicking “Requests > Open requests” at the top left.
In addition, immediately after signing in to Timebutler, the dashboard clearly displays the open requests in the box at the top left.
Allow leave without approval
You can also configure that [leave does not require approval(/vacation-planner/settings/vacation-not-subject-to-approval/).
Approval by the delegate
Using the [delegate feature(/frequently-asked-questions/user-accounts/delegate-feature/), the delegate can approve / reject their employees’ requests on behalf of the supervisor during the supervisor’s absence.
