Levels of Leave Approval Workflow

Suppose an employee applies for leave & sends his leave application for supervisor approval. Supervisor views the leave application & decides whether to approve or reject. If a supervisor accepts the leave request then it is passed for approval to the assistant manager. Once assistant manager approves it further it goes to the manager for approval and he finalizes the leave of the employee.
