  • Type in the name of the person you wish to assign proxy (first name last name) to search

  • If you wish to assign BOTH Time and Leave Approval, complete the process once for each type

  • Their name will appear in the search box, confirm the name and click Add Proxy
  • Select the type of Proxy, Time Approval or Leave Approval

  • You may add more than one proxy, but each will have full authority to approve employee timecards on your behalf.

  • The person you have granted proxy to will receive an email notifying them of their proxy access

  • When you want to end proxy access, return to the screen and click the red X to the right of the person's name.
