Time OffAdmin (Console)
Set default approvers
How ZenAdmin's company-wide leave approval chain works — first and second approvers, and where the defaults can be overridden.
Time Off → Approvers sets the company-wide default approval chain for leave requests.
How do I set the chain?
Pick a 1st Approver and optionally a 2nd Approver. Each can be a role — the employee's Manager or Skip Level Manager — or a specific person, or None.
Where can the default be overridden?
Two places, in order of precedence:
- Per policy — a policy's Approval step can use Custom approvers, overriding the default for everyone on that policy (see Create a leave policy).
- Per employee — an individual's approval settings can be changed on their profile, which "Default" policies then follow.
Requests land with approvers in their Tasks inbox — see Approve and manage requests.
