Shift schedule approval by direct managers (monthly)

Overview: monthly shift-plan approval per employee, and bulk approval for the selected ones. — Approve month · per person or in bulk

For each calendar month, the system can record that a shift schedule was not only captured in HR101, but explicitly approved by the employee’s direct manager (as defined by the manager field / line structure in your directory). That creates a simple rule everyone downstream can rely on: validation sits with the manager who owns that team member—not with a distant central department trying to infer whether the grid was correct.

Where in the app

Approval sits with the person, not the whole plan

Payroll teams, workforce planners, and people who lock days or timesheets get a cleaner chain of evidence before they treat data as final. Approvals are month-scoped; there is one active approval per employee per month. Only the direct manager can approve or revoke for their reports; if you select people you do not manage in bulk, the dialog explains who will be skipped and why.

Approving for several people

The bulk Approve for selected action with four employees ticked and approved badges. — A whole team in one action

You can approve or revoke for one person or many, using the same monthly Shift planning view. A comment on the confirmation dialog is optional. The product keeps an audit trail of actions for transparency.

Exact labels and menu paths match your UI language; administrator roles and company rules still control who can open Shift planning and use these actions.
