Task Delegation
Work assigned to one person shouldn't stall the moment they're out of office. FlexManager's Task Delegation module lets someone hand their module responsibilities to a nominated colleague for a set period, so the work assigned to them is covered automatically while they're away.
Who's Covering What, at a Glance
Task Delegation means that a teammate’s responsibilities can be covered for whatever period you set, whether that’s a single day or several weeks. Every handover is tracked as scheduled, current or finished, so it’s always clear who’s covering what, and for how much longer.
Built for Stand-Ins and Teams
The module supports colleagues taking over someone else’s duties because they get notified the moment cover actually begins, so a stand-in knows exactly when their responsibility starts rather than guessing from a calendar entry, and teams who need work to keep moving through planned leave and unplanned absences alike.
Hand Off Your Work
Hand your work to a colleague while you're away, so what's assigned to you doesn't just sit waiting until you're back.
Choose Who Stands In, Module by Module
Choose who stands in, one module at a time, so different colleagues can cover different parts of your workload rather than one person taking on everything at once.
Handovers That Start and End Themselves
Handovers start and end automatically by date, so cover begins and finishes exactly when you planned it, without anyone needing to switch it on or off manually.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a stand-in cover everything, or just part of the workload?
You choose who stands in one module at a time, so different colleagues can cover different parts of your responsibilities rather than handing everything to a single person who may not be across all of it.
Does someone need to remember to start or end a handover?
No. Handovers start and end automatically by date, so cover begins and finishes exactly when planned without anyone needing to switch it on or turn it off manually.
How does a stand-in know when their cover begins?
The stand-in is notified the moment cover begins, so they know their responsibility has actually started rather than finding out only when something assigned to the person they’re covering lands in front of them.
