Can Staff Approve Their Own Holidays?
Staff must submit requests to their line manager to approve in order to take holiday. However, it is possible to allow staff to be self-approvers.
To do this, go to Company Settings > Holidays.
Turn on allow additional staff and groups to approve holidays requests and click add. This will prompt a new screen to appear which will allow you to add holiday request approvers.
From the holiday requests for drop-down field, select the name of the user who you would like to assign a holiday self-approver. Then, click into the text field to the left of the window (this will say 'start typing to find staff and groups). A list of staff and staff groups will appear. Search for the employee's name here too, and select them. Then click save.
You will be taken back to the main screen where a notification confirming approvers updated successfully will appear at the top of the screen. You will notice that the new approver group will appear.
The employee this has been created for will then be able to create holiday events for themselves without having to send a request to their line manager moving forward.
