How to assign a line manager to an employee?

You can assign a specific line manager to each employee. This person will directly receive absence requests from the selected employees and will be able to handle them, according to their permission.

From the employee's profile :

  • Go to the Contracts tab

  • Click on Actions > Edit contract

  • At the bottom of the contract, choose the line manager by typing their name

Good to know :

  • Only the assigned manager will receive email notifications.

  • Other managers will no longer receive these emails but can still approve requests directly on Combo (according to their rights).

  • If the manager is inactive, deleted, demoted, or no longer has an active contract, emails will automatically be redirected to the account owner, administrators, establishment directors, and team managers concerned.


How to change the line manager?

From the manager’s profile :

  • Click on “Supervises X people”

  • Choose “Transfer employees”

  • Select the employees to transfer and specify the new manager

  • Confirm by clicking “Transfer employees”

The new manager will receive future absence requests!

From the employee’s profile:

  • Go to the employee's Contract tab

  • Click on “Actions” > “Edit contract”

  • Scroll down to the “Line Manager” field

  • Choose a new name from the list or type it in
