By default, new starters must be approved before their employment becomes active and they can receive payments.
Temp cover use cases
If the assigned approver is unavailable, another user can step in by using Temp Cover function to act as that approver.
This allows you to:
Access the approverâs notifications.
Approve the new starter on their behalf.
Keep the onboarding process moving while the approver is away.
So, itâs mainly about avoiding delays in getting the employee active and ready for payroll when the normal approver isnât available.
âSign in as another employee
To sign in as another employee, follow the below steps:
Click the approver's profile then click the Employment tab.
Click Temp Cover then click Add Temporary Cover.
Select your name from the dropdown then set the dates you need to cover.
Click your name in the top right and choose the temporary cover employment.
Click the Notifications icon and approve the new starter.
This lets you view the system as the approver and complete the approval while theyâre away.
đNote: If you don't have the option to temp cover as another employee, you need the permission named Employment Temporary Cover which an admin user can add this for you.
If you're unable to approve the new starter or the approval request doesn't display in the Notifications menu, contact us.
