If you are a manager in WorkDo, chances are you are assigned to sign off on employee requests, but aside from approving and rejecting requests, if the situation calls for it, you can also escalate a request.
Managers or dotted-line managers are tasked with signing off various types of requests, and when employee send out their requests, managers are notified to take action. Below are the different actions you can take to sign off the requests.
Select Approve and the requests will be approved and processed, and the next-level managers will not be notified.

Sometimes, cross-functional approvals are signed by different team leads and sometimes approvals don’t follow the regular workflow, instead, they are processed by designated approvers.
In either situation, if your approval or expense request does not go through your line manager or dotted-line manager, you may select from a list of designated approvers.
If the approver is not in the list of designated approvers, please save your approval or expense request draft first and ask the HR Staff to set the designated approver in the HR tool, then you can resume your approval process by selecting the approver for your request.
