Manager self service

Integrated with Manager's self-service there is virtually nothing that you need to do to start using MSS. Just setup the authoriser / approver profiles for various workflows and you're ready to start.

Different access levels can be defined for various manager roles depending upon the access level desired for each manager role.  What's more, you can also have different access privileges for different access roles. E.g, the Sales department may be given a different set of access rights compared to Finance. Eligibility, request and authorisation rules for time off can be set to facilitate managers to take decisions within the policy framework.
