Employee Leave, Attendance, and Costing Approver Logic

Employees are categorized into two types: By-Department and By-Project, configurable in the Employee's Profile.

1. By-Department Type Employee

Approver Logic:

Condition	Approver	Example
Main Supervisor is set	Main Supervisor	Example 1: Employee has Main Supervisor Employee Name: Alice Tan Approval Type: By Department Department: Admin Department Main Supervisor: John Lim Admin Department First Approver: Jul Admin Department Final Approver: Asci 👉 Approver: John Lim
No Main Supervisor AND the first and final approver NOT set to this employee	Department First Approver	Example 2: No Main Supervisor, Employee is NOT Department First/Final Approver Employee Name: Brian Ng Approval Type: By Department Department: IT Department Main Supervisor: null IT Department First Approver: Chloe Goh IT Department Final Approver: Ethan Yeo 👉 Approver: Chloe Goh
No Main Supervisor AND employee is his own Dept. First Approver and set the his own Dept. final approver	Department Final Approver	Example 3: Employee is First Approver Employee Name: Chloe Goh Approval Type: By Department Department: IT Department Main Supervisor: null IT Department First Approver: Chloe Goh IT Department Final Approver: Ethan Yeo 👉 Approver: Ethan Yeo
No Main Supervisor AND employee is his own Dept. First Approver and no set Dept. Final Approver	Parent Dept's First Approver	Example 4: Employee is First Approver Employee Name: Chloe Goh Approval Type: By Department Department: IT Department Main Supervisor: null Department First Approver: Chloe Goh Department Final Approver: null Parent Department: Research Development Parent Department First Approver: Joy 👉 Approver: Joy
No Main Supervisor AND employee is his own Dept. Final Approver	Parent Dept’s First Approver	Example 5: Employee is Final Approver Employee Name: Ethan Yeo Approval Type: By Department Department: IT Department Main Supervisor: null Department First Approver: Chloe Goh Department Final Approver: Ethan Yeo Parent Department: HQ Department Parent Department First Approver: Rachel Tan 👉 Approver: Rachel Tan

Business Scenarios:

Leave Application:

First Approver: Based on logic above

Final Approver: Department’s Final Approver

Attendance (No-Check-IN or Modify Spent Time):

Approver: Based on logic above

Costing (Monthly / Weekly):

Approver: Based on logic above

2. By-Project Type Employee

Approver Logic

Condition	Approver	Example
Employee is NOT Project PD or PM	Project Level 0 PM → fallback to Level 1, etc. → If no PM, then PD	Example 6: Project Employee, Not PD/PM Employee Name: Fiona Lee Approval Type: By Project Project Level 0 PM: Andrew Teo Project PD: Karen Ong Approver: Andrew Teo
Employee IS a PM	Higher-level PM → If none, then PD	Example 7: Employee is Project PM (Level 1) Employee Name: Jason Koh Approval Type: By Project Higher-Level PM: Henry Chua Project PD: Michelle Sim Approver: Henry Chua
Employee IS a PD	Higher-level PD → If none, then No Approver	Example 8: Employee is Project PD Employee Name: Michelle Sim Approval Type: By Project Higher-Level PD: Not Available Approver: None

Business Scenarios

Use Case	Approver
Leave	First Approver = Project PD/PM (per logic), Final Approver = Employee’s Department Final Approver
Attendance (No-Check-IN / Modify Time)	Project PD/PM (per logic)
Costing (Check-in based)	PD/PM of the Project where employee has check-in records
