Role profile / Branch

Branch Manager

Coordinate an assigned branch, its supervisors and departmental handoffs. Review branch activity and escalate exceptions within delegated rights.

Role accountabilities

What this role is responsible for.

  • Coordinate assigned branch supervisors and department handoffs; view branch operational summaries.
  • When assigned formal department-manager authority, follow up on eligible reviews, use independent decisions and preserve rejected-item rework history.
  • Inspect authorized SLA, assignment and department accountability reports; workload suggestions do not automatically reassign work.
  • Work only within assigned company, branch and department scope.
  • Send each record to the next authorized owner; decisions and approvals follow company policy.
Security & data safeguards

What this role can access—and what needs a separate grant.

  • Branch-only scope by default. No salary, payment release or permission administration by default; approval authority and cross-branch summary access require explicit assignment and audit.
  • These source incident/approval dashboards currently require company.update in addition to applicable manager checks. A manager or branch title alone does not grant dashboard access.

These are FieldPro security requirements and intended permission boundaries.

Workplace

Internal Messenger

Organize company chat in member-controlled threads, with incremental message polling and personal read cursors.

Module responsibilities & availability

  • Company-scoped chat threadsAvailable
  • Member-only message accessAvailable

    Thread participation and company identity determine which messages an authenticated user can access.

  • Incremental pollingAvailable

    Fetch up to 100 messages newer than the caller cursor from threads they belong to. Polling is distinct from WebSockets or background push.

  • Monotonic read cursorAvailable

    A thread member can advance their own read position. This is not a delivery confirmation or a read receipt for every participant.

  • Realtime media and pushRequires provider setup

    Realtime push, voice/video transport and mobile background delivery require separate infrastructure and validation.

Process, inputs & handoffs

Process

  • Create or join an authorized thread
  • Send a text message

Security Incidents & Accountability

Turn recovery-download security events into reviewed incidents, assigned department responses and independent manager decisions.

Module responsibilities & availability

  • Recovery access security dashboardAvailable

    Company-scoped recent events and failure counters cover recovery grant creation, redemption and integrity failures without exposing tokens or file paths.

  • Independent security reviewAvailable

    Open a review for a company user and require another reviewer to close it. The source also provides temporary manual recovery-download restrictions.

  • Incident acknowledgment and resolutionAvailable

    Escalate an open review to an incident. The opener cannot acknowledge or resolve their own incident; the independent acknowledging admin records the resolution.

  • Severity-based SLA policiesAvailable

    Company policy controls acknowledgment and resolution targets. Assignment validates active company and department membership.

  • Five-level internal escalationAvailable

    A scheduled worker routes overdue assigned incidents through configured active department members at levels 1–5. It records internal notices and dispatch history.

  • Recipient escalation responsesAvailable

    A designated recipient records one response note per dispatch. An escalation response is distinct from resolving the incident.

  • Unanswered-response accountabilityAvailable
  • Manager follow-up and independent decisionsAvailable

    Formal active department managers receive follow-ups. A different authorized manager decides approval or rejection before permitted closure.

  • Rejected review reworkAvailable

    Reopen an eligible rejected review with a reason, preserve prior decisions and resubmit for independent review.

  • Authenticated manager workspaceAvailable

    The manager dashboard exposes permitted review, follow-up, decision, close, rework, notice-read and export controls.

  • Chained audit history and CSVAvailable

    New decision/rework actions write chained audit entries; tenant-scoped CSV neutralizes spreadsheet formulas. The chain is not externally anchored and cannot defeat a privileged database rewrite.

Process, inputs & handoffs

Process

  • Inspect scoped security events
  • Open and independently review the issue
  • Assign the incident and response targets
  • Route overdue response internally
  • Review manager follow-up
  • Independently decide, rework or close

Control

SLA Operations & Worker Health

Monitor overdue approvals, scheduled-job health and assigned operational incidents, then track resolution review and department accountability.

Module responsibilities & availability

  • SLA operations dashboardAvailable

    An authenticated operations workspace combines personal approval notices, company escalation analytics and sanitized worker telemetry.

  • Personal notice filtersAvailable

    Filter personal in-app notices by read/unread state and type. Mark-all-read affects only the current user.

  • Company approval SLA policyAvailable

    A company can configure an approval threshold of 1–720 hours. The worker uses company policy unless an operator explicitly overrides it.

  • Scheduled internal remindersAvailable

    Open reviews remind their assigned manager; reviewed items awaiting decision notify other eligible independent managers. No automatic approval or reassignment occurs.

  • Worker run and sanitized failure historyAvailable

    Successful executed runs and qualifying failures are recorded. Early startup errors, process kills and failed log writes may not be recorded.

  • Company health rules and seven-day trendsAvailable

    Configure a stale threshold of 15–1440 minutes and failure warnings. Run/failure trends are global operational metadata, not other companies’ business records.

  • Scheduled health events and admin inboxAvailable

    A separate health-monitor job opens deduplicated warning events, records recovery and creates internal notices for authorized active company administrators.

  • Human acknowledgment historyAvailable

    Record who responded to a warning and their note. Acknowledgment does not clear a warning, repair a worker or replay a job.

  • Health response SLA and incident reportAvailable

    Configure a 5–1440 minute response target and view a bounded 30-day report based on first acknowledgment during each event lifetime. Historical records use the current policy.

  • Manual incident assignment, resolve and reopenAvailable

    Assign an active company user, require a resolution note and enforce supported state transitions. Manual response state stays separate from observed worker recovery.

  • Recipient-only assignment inboxAvailable

    Assignment changes and eligible resolve/reopen actions create in-app notices for the assigned active user. Repeated unchanged assignment does not generate another assignment notice.

  • Independent resolution approvalAvailable

    A permitted reviewer can approve a resolved incident or reject it with a reason. Self-review is denied; rejection returns the manual workflow to investigation.

  • Explicit supervisor review permissionAvailable

    Health resolution review requires a separately granted health.incidents.review permission. Existing supervisors are not granted this automatically; dashboard access still uses company.update.

  • Department incident mapping and accountabilityAvailable

    Assign an incident to a department in the same company and report investigating, resolved and historical approval/rejection counts. Assignment is manual; approved/rejected counts can overlap after resubmission.

  • Reviewer and department reportingAvailable

    Reviewer decisions have a 30-day summary. The separate department mapping report is bounded and is not represented as a mutually exclusive completion percentage.

  • Independent uptime monitoringRequires provider setup

    A stopped health-monitor job cannot report its own outage. Cron setup and independent uptime monitoring are deployment work.

Process, inputs & handoffs

Process

  • Configure company SLA and health thresholds
  • Schedule approval and health workers
  • Inspect notices, telemetry and open events
  • Assign an incident owner and department
  • Record investigation and resolution
  • Obtain independent resolution review
  • Follow department and reviewer accountability
