This article will go through Breathe from a line manager point of view including their dashboard, how to set their permissions and a guide to share with your line managers.

Line Manager Dashboard

From the line managers perspective, it will look a little something like this.

There are two dashboards: manager dashboard and my dashboard. My dashboard is exactly the same as an employee's-  it contains information only related to yourself. However the manager dashboard, are tasks you have to complete as a line manager such as leave to approve, sickness to review and one to ones to manage. 

To action the task click on the arrow icon next to the appropriate record, it will then redirect you to the appropriate page to make your updates.

Please note: Line manager's permissions are set by the HR User so some of these options may not appear.

  

Line Manager Permissions

Within breathe you can chose what line managers can view, manage or delete of their employee's profiles.

You will find the line manager permissions under Configure > Settings > Permissions and Approvals > Change what line managers can see and do 

On the left-hand side of the screen is where you determine what the line sees on their employee's profiles.

You can allow your managers to view, edit/manage and delete information

On the right-hand side of the screen you can choose what your line managers see:

Two-tier/level view of staff

You can tick the box, so line managers can see not only their employees but also the next level down. This will mean that they have exactly the same permissions as the direct Line Manager. However, notifications will only go to the direct Line Manager.

e.g:

LINE MANAGER 1

|

USER - USER - USER - LINE MANAGER 2 - USER - USER - USER

|

USER - USER - USER - USER - USER - USER - USER - USER - USER - USER

Any users below these two tiers will not be visible.

Please note: If you need managers to see more than one level you will need to give them HR Permissions

Bank details

You can also tick the second box, so line managers can see their employees bank details on their profile.

Just a few quick tips:

In order for Line Managers to add employee documents to the employee profile, you will need to tick 'manage' profile.

For Line Managers to manage TOIL, you will need to tick 'manage' adjustments.

Find below a line manager guide that will give you an over of Breathe from a line managers point of view and you can share this with your line managers.
