The Delegation feature allows managers to assign another person, often the timekeeper or another manager, to manage timesheets for “assignment groups” or groups of employees. Delegation is the system function that grants another user authority over a Manager’s group or groups of employees. Only the manager can perform this action. Before delegating authority, please be explicit about the delineation of responsibilities.
