Manager guide

Approvals, team view, and hiring participation.

Manager Guide

Managers (manager role, often combined with employee) oversee direct reports in People Hub.

Team visibility

Routes:

  • /hrms/manager/team — direct reports
  • /hrms/people/org-chart — hierarchy (organisation-wide view may be limited by permissions)

You see employees where you are recorded as their manager (manager_id / manager_email relationship).

Leave approvals

  1. Employee submits at /hrms/my-leave
  2. Request enters pending manager stage
  3. Manager reviews on team leave view or request detail
  4. Approve → forwards to HR stage (if configured)
  5. Reject → employee notified

Cannot approve own leave.

Pending actions

Dashboard and manager views surface pending leave and hiring requests assigned to you.

Recruiting involvement

If also recruiter or assigned to requisition:

  • Review candidates in pipeline
  • Participate in interview scheduling
  • Hiring requests: /hrms/hiring-requests

Without recruiter role: no candidate inbox access.
