Employee Portal

Manager View

Approve leave, monitor team requests, and plan coverage from the portal. Jordan Lee manages Sophie's team without switching to admin mode.

Real-world scenario

Sophie Park · Software Engineer at Bluewave Labs

Sophie is not a manager herself, but her lead Jordan uses Manager View daily: he approved her Friday PTO, noticed her laptop ticket is still open, and saw she checked in Remote before standup.

Before you begin

  • Employee portal access with at least one direct report in the directory
  • Manager relationship set on employee profiles by people ops

Overview

Manager View, Employee Portal → Team Management, is for people leaders who need to approve leave and monitor team activity without full admin access. Jordan sees direct reports only; skip-level managers use the same view for their own teams.
