Who is a substitute?
A substitute is a person who will take over the responsibilities of the employee during his absence. We've added an additional field to the time-off request and it allows you to select your colleague as the substitute.
If you are a manager, the substitute will be able to approve or reject requests during your absence. When your absence is over, all pending requests will revert back to your 'Approval' tab.
