Create & Enable a Delegation Rule to Delegate Your Approval Authority

Create & Enable a Delegation Rule to Delegate Your Approval Authority

Important Notes:

  • Bronco Hub approvers can choose to delegate their action approval responsibility to another employee as needed.

  • Approval delegation is a great option when approvers are out of office.

  • Delegations can be created for a specific period or indefinitely.

  • If you need to make permanent changes to department approvers, submit the Bronco Hub Approval Workflow Maintenance form.

Approvers must create delegation rules based on the type(s) of approval action being delegated:

  1. Financial Tasks: Expense Reports, Invoice Payments, Requisitions and Budget.

  2. Absence: Time Approval and Absence Approval.

  3. HR Manager Self Service: New hires, Re-hires, Data Change, Add Assignment, Promotion, and Salary Change.

Delegation rules are added or removed on an individual basis. Approval delegation rules can be enabled or disabled by the existing designated approver(s).

The Office of Continuous Improvement (OCI) and Human Resources cannot add, edit, or remove approval delegations.
