**Summary:** First approval layer in the workflow, done by the employee's direct supervisor.

- Manager approval is the first layer of the workflow: the direct supervisor validates that the trip happened, the business purpose is legitimate, and the request is within policy.
- Best practice: approve within five business days, document rejections, escalate doubts.
- Silent timeout approval is not accepted by external auditors.
