# Assign Employee Managers to Route Notifications and Requests

Assign Employee Managers to route notifications and requests, and filter requests from employees you manage.

Assign one or more **Employee Managers** to each employee to direct supported notifications and requests to the people responsible for their team.

Employee-manager routing is available for:

-   [**Time Off**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/assign-employee-managers-to-route-notifications-and-requests#time-off-notifications-and-requests)
-   [**Shift Drop**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/assign-employee-managers-to-route-notifications-and-requests#shift-drop-notifications-and-requests)
-   [**Shift Confirmation**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/assign-employee-managers-to-route-notifications-and-requests#shift-confirmation-notifications)
-   [**Shift Bidding**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/assign-employee-managers-to-route-notifications-and-requests#shift-bidding-notifications)
-   [**eClock Alerts**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/assign-employee-managers-to-route-notifications-and-requests#eclock-alerts-notifications)
-   [**Expiring Qualifications**](https://help.celayix.com/en/article/assign-employee-managers-to-route-notifications-and-requests#expiring-qualifications-notifications)

Managers can also filter **Time Off** and **Shift Drop** requests to show only employees assigned to them.

**Important:** Assigning a manager does not automatically enable notifications. You must also enable employee-manager routing for each feature you want to use.
