TimeKeeper allows you to set the manager of an employee under the 'HR information' tab. Their direct manager will receive the leave requests for that employee that are to be approved or declined, and has the ability to view that employee's timesheets. We also have the ability for the manager to edit the timesheets for any employees they manage, however please contact TimeKeeper support to enable this on your account.
