What level of authority is assigned to an approver’s role?
In Day Off, an approver has a decision making role within the leave approval workflow, but their authority is limited based on assigned permissions.
Authority
An approver can:
- Approve or reject leave request
- Receive and review requests submitted by assigned employees
- Move requests forward in the approval workflow
In each step, only one approver’s action is required to proceed.
Scope of Authority
An approver’s authority is limited to:
- The employees they are assigned to approve for
- The approval step they are part of (Step 1 or Step 2)
They do not have global control over all employees unless explicitly granted additional permissions.
Additional Access (If Enabled)
Depending on role permissions, an approver may also:
- View employee profiles
- Check leave balances
- Review request history
- Access team information, policies, and schedules
