I Filed an Attendance Application but my Approver was Suddenly Changed -- Who's the Boss Now?

 

It is not unheard of in Sprout HR to find yourself in a situation where your attendance application is still pending with your immediate supervisor when for some reason, the organizational chart shifts, or your position changes, and you suddenly have a new manager to report to. 

 

In this particular situation, who gets the duty of approving an employee's pending applications?

 

The short answer: the application stays within the Approval Center of your previous manager, who  decides whether or not the previously made application is in accordance with everything that was requisite to your previous job or position, and whether it is in his discretion to approve it in his capacity as a former manager to the employee concerned. 

 

However, there are instances when the former manager can no longer function as approver of attendance requests -- his employment may have been terminated, or he may have resigned, among other possible reasons.

In such cases, an employee can simply opt to update or resubmit his application, upon which his new manager will be given the task to approve it in her Approval Center.

Here's how: 

1. On the Employee Dashboard, click on the My Requests tab and select Pending applications.




2. Click on the Update button. 
3. This will take you to the application page itself. Click on the Update button. 




Upon clicking the Apply button, the application will be transferred to the employee's new approver for his approval.
