Delegation from manager to another person

Hey Katriina,

I had a similar question a while back. I'm not 100% sure but I think it would work if you have a substitute defined for the absence. The important this is that the substitute needs to have the same access rights as the person on leave. Otherwise, they aren't able to perform the tasks (e.g. approving vacation, etc.).

Hope that helps a little bit.

Ah, actually just saw a different thread on this: 

• How to delegate absence management?

Maybe this helps?

Thanks @Kaffeeleserin! So basically I am assuming that one would need to add the special rule or to change the manager during the period to someone else and then make the change again after the leave ends. If I understood correctly. 

Hello,

I saw that my post was linked to this topic.

I really think that a delegation feature would help in case of manager’s absence (short or long absence, the problem remains the same ;)).

Can you talk to your Product team to look at this feature?

Thanks!

Thank you for your comment @Thibaut from Swile,

I agree that it would be beneficial to have a delegation feature. I am struggling a bit now that we have a substitute for a long leave from a person who has not been a manager and I am not quite sure how to do it in Personio. Because this person is substituting so not really a manager change (at least that is how it will be in the history).

Hi @Katriina and @Thibaut from Swile,

I definitely see your point. Thank you for the feedback, the both of you! :)

 @Katriina: If you don’t wish to set the substitute as the new Supervisor, and also in general, I would recommend you to choose the workaround that @Lena shared under @Thibaut from Swile’s previous topic, in case you haven’t seen it yet:

• How to delegate absence management?

 @Thibaut from Swile: “Can you talk to your Product team to look at this feature?”

For any sort of feedback, I highly recommend you to submit it as an idea, as you have done very well in the past. This way, it will reach our Product Team directly, and we can ensure to have that feedback in a unified place where the whole Community can vote for it and comment. We will also be able to measure how relevant it is for how many users.

Who’s up for posting it? In the idea, you can also copy-paste some of the points that have been mentioned above . 


Best regards,
Daniele

Thanks @Daniele!
