Hi jobohm1,

To make sure your manager can receive employee notification they will need to sign in with their own email and make changes to their overall Notifications. Along with Employee Leave Requests this can be managed to include all types of employee requests. To do so, can be done with the below steps:

1. First, please make sure the manager signs into QuickBooks under their own email.
2. Then select Employees tab 
3. On the right-hand side select Manage Employees
4. From the drop-down, you will see the open of Notifications 

From here, they will see a complete list of Employee Notifications they can opt in for including 'Email me when an employee that I supervise requests leave'. For a list of what is available you can click here.

Bare in mind, it is best to check first that the manager is first added as a User to the payroll system to receive such notifications. This can be done by:

1. In the Employee tab, select Payroll Settings.
2. Then select Manage Users

From here, you can choose to add the manager as a restricted or full access user, which I believe they will want to have full access. For instructions of adding these type of users please click here.

Hope this helps,
