Reassign Leave Request Approvers

The Reassign Leave Request Approvers option, which is accessed from within the Leave Request Options option in Payroll, is utilized to change a user who is assigned as an approver on previously submitted leave requests that are still pending approval.  Since the approvers assigned to submitted leave requests are not updated if the corresponding approval path is changed (because changes to approval paths are only effective for new leave requests submitted after changes are made), use the Reassign Leave Request Approvers option to update a user assigned as an approver for previously submitted leave requests.  For example, if a user who is an approver leaves and no longer works at the organization, the user who replaced that person can be reassigned as the approver in his/her place by completing the Reassign Leave Request Approvers option.
