  1. Go to ConsoleAttendanceLeave and open Approvals.

  2. Under Cover while you're away, select Name a deputy.
  3. Choose Who covers, and the dates.
  4. Select Name deputy.

While the dates run, your deputy can decide anything waiting for you, and is told when you name them.

Good to Know

  • Cover lasts a year at most. Select End cover to finish it early, or Call off cover that hasn't started.
  • A deputy also decides the extra time and timesheets of the people you cover.
  • HR can name a deputy for anyone.
  • In Agoo Workspace, name a deputy from the Team tab.
  • If you're on approved leave and named nobody, your requests go to your own manager, then HR.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • Your deputy can't see a request. It's outside the dates you chose, or it's waiting at another person's step.
  • You named the wrong person. End the cover and name someone else.
