Delegating Authority as a Supervisor

Summary

In this article, you will learn the steps to delegate authority to an employee to approve specific transactions on your behalf in OneUSG Connect.

Body

   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.
