How to Set Reviews to Be Approved by a Manager

You can include an employee's direct manager as an approver in your review approval workflow.

To configure manager approval, update your review process's approval route and add a Manager Approval step.

Configure Manager Approval

1. Navigate to the review process you want to update.
2. Edit the approval route for the process.
3. When adding an approval step, select Manager Approval.
4. Save your changes.

The employee's direct manager will now be included as an approver in the review approval workflow.

What Managers See

When a review reaches the manager approval step, the employee's direct manager receives the approval request and can review the appraisal as part of the configured approval route.

Additional Information

Manager Approval can be added alongside other approval steps within the approval route. When configuring approval routes, you can choose approvers based on specific users, management levels, or direct manager approval requirements.
