How to set up Timesheet Approval Delegation in myHRonline

Approval Delegation in myHRonline, allows the approval access and the responsibility of a myHRonline Timesheet approver to be delegated to another position or person for a period of time. 

Delegation may relate to a specific period of time such as covering a short absence or can be open-ended to cover longer periods.  

When a delegation record is entered, any requests that are entered on, or after, the start date of the delegation period will be automatically directed to the designated approver. If pending transactions already exist, they will be updated.   

It is important to note that timesheet approvals are no longer escalated to the manager’s manager if it is not approved; therefore, it is imperative to delegate when taking leave.
