Add the ability to assign leave approvers to specific staff
At the moment our firm has all managers and above as being able to approve leave requests. Staff are meant to select their direct line manger or partner but they have the ability to choose any person on the approver list.
We'd like to suggest staff are restricted to who they can choose and add the ability to assign specific approvers to each staff member.
We recently had an example of a staff member booking a month of leave and having it approved by someone who does not supervise them. Their actual manager and partner were unaware until shortly before their leave and so were in a position where they were short staffed and had not planned to cover their absence. In this case it's clearly an example of a staff member doing the wrong thing and a manager approving leave when they should have declined it, and there are obvious work arounds. However we would like to suggest that there be safeguards put in place to ensure this type of incident is not even possible in the first place
