Go to ConsoleAttendanceLeave and open Approvals.
- Under Cover while you're away, select Name a deputy.
- Choose Who covers, and the dates.
- 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.
