The statement that the supervisor must re-approve after changes to an absence request is best described as:

• A. The supervisor must re-approve after changes
• B. The supervisor does not need to re-approve after changes
• C. Re-approval is required only for manager-initiated changes
• D. Re-approval is always optional

Answer: (B)

The key idea is how approvals behave when an approved absence is edited. In many HR systems, once an absence request has been approved, changes to that same request are treated as amendments to an already approved record. The original supervisor authorization still applies to the updated dates or details, and the update is logged for audit purposes. Re-approving every modification would add unnecessary steps and could disrupt payroll and attendance tracking, so the common approach is not to require a new approval after changes. Some policies might still require re-approval for substantial or policy-violating changes, but as a general rule, re-approval after changes is not mandated.
