For managers

You see your reporting line and nobody else's. That boundary is a database policy, not a hidden menu — a request from another team does not exist for you rather than merely being out of view.

Your approvals queue

1. 1Approvals collects four kinds of work in one place: time off, overtime claims, attendance corrections, and timesheets. The counts sit on the tabs, so one glance answers whether anything needs you.
2. 2Each time-off card shows their remaining balance, how many days the request uses, and who else on the team is away that week.
3. 3Approve applies the deduction to their balance in the same moment the status changes — the two cannot disagree.
4. 4Declining requires a note. 'Declined, no reason' is the state nobody can explain six months later.

Timesheets and overtime

1. 1Approvals → Timesheets shows the weeks your team has submitted.
2. 2Approve, or return with a note explaining what needs fixing — the note is required by a database constraint, not just the form.
3. 3Overtime is claimed by the person who worked it and approved by you. You can approve fewer minutes than were claimed; the difference is visible to them.
