In some companies, employees may enter vacation at their own discretion without their manager having to approve the requests.
You can configure this setting in Timebutler as follows:
Sign in to Timebutler as an admin and click “Settings > More..” at the bottom left, then “Absence types” on the right. In the row for “Vacation” (in some cases “Annual vacation”), click the green button with the pencil on the left (=Edit). Check/change the “Approval” setting and then click the “Save” button at the bottom.
The change takes effect immediately for new vacation requests. Existing vacation requests that are still in the “Requested” status remain in this status, and the manager still needs to approve them.
