Create an Approval Path for Paid Time Off Requests

The Time Off Approval Path Window allows the user to choose whether the time off requests must be approved by a supervisor or administrator, or both.

You can access this from Administration - Time Off Settings and selecting the Approval Paths tab.

1. Select the Add Approval Path button on the top right hand side of the screen.
   
2. Once the Add Approval Path window is pulled up, it will allow the user to:
   1. Name and describe the Approval Path.
   2. Define approval path conditions, including whether any or all of the conditions must be met.  You can set up the time to have Automatic Approval, One or More Approvers, or it can follow the Supervisor Hierarchy,
   3. You can choose to limit the time to approve time off requests to a specific number of hours, and then have a backup rule.
      
   4. Choose what happens when an employee’s time off request is rejected, either return the time off to the employee, or send it back to the previous approver.
   5. Choose what happens once the time off request hour limit is reached.   You can have it approve time off automatically, forward the time to a supervisor, or have the system send you an email reminder.
      
   6. When you are ready, select Save.
