Assign delegation

The system supports two roles for department administrators, submitters and approvers, to create engagements and prepare payments for their departments.

System Role	Delegation Role
Department Submitter	Casual Helper System Submitter
Department Approver	Casual Helper System Approver

Department head can delegate the two roles to appropriate personnel of the department. The delegation setting will be effective in half day after assignment in HCMS.

Department submitter is the person who collects casual helpers’ information, prepares engagements and invites casual helpers to accept an offer. He/she also prepares payments to casual helpers during or on completion of work.

Department approver is the person who reviews and approves engagements and payments prepared by department submitters.

Please note that the submitters and approvers of a department can prepare and approve all the engagements / payments of the department respectively.

Department submitter and department approver roles of the system can be granted in the delegation module of the HKU Human Capital Management System (HCMS).
