Tell Me

Assigning an Alternative Manager (i.e. proxy or delegate) can only be requested by supervisors and departmental timekeepers.

1. Go to Company Settings   > Global Setup > Groups > Manager Group Access. 

2. Filter down by: Group Type (column) = Supervisor and then search for the supervisor's name either using the Group Name "starts with" column OR by First/Last Name columns and click Refresh Data.

   

   Note

   If Group Type = Manager repeat the steps above. This indicates that there is additional access to another group of people other than direct reports.

3. Click on the person icon  beside the supervisor's name.

4. In the Group Managers window on the left, click the Assign Alternative Employee link icon  by the supervisor's employee ID.
   
5. You will be prompted to enter a name in the Assign Alternative Manager Screen. 
   

6. In the Alternative Manger field, click the person search icon to search for the employee you wish to assign as the Alternative Manager.

   Note

   The Alternative Manager will have the same permissions as the regular manager.

7. In the Active From and Active To fields, specify the date range applicable for this temporary Alternative Manager assignment.
   

   Note

   For permanent assignment, remove the "X" by the From and To fields.

8. Click the add alternative button .
