Delegating Authority as a Supervisor

   Overview   

Supervisors and Time & Absence Approvers can use the delegation feature in OneUSG Connect for Manager Self Service transactions.

  • Manager Self Service delegation refers to the delegation of a manager's or supervisor's ability to initiate and/or approve transactions, or an employee's absences/time, to a proxy (a person who will be authorized to perform those actions).
  • Delegation can be submitted for individuals either one up, one down, or across that manager's/supervisor's reporting structure.
  • The proxy (the person being delegated to) will need to accept the delegation in order for the delegation to be in effect.
  • The manager/supervisor can set up as many delegations as needed.
  • Once a delegation is made for a certain responsibility, the person who delegates that responsibility loses the ability to take action on it.
  • Delegations expire based on the date entered when setting up the delegation, and delegations can also be revoked.
