I have a user going on leave, how do I manage their tasks?

Background

Tasks will become overdue if not completed by the due date. People with accountabilities for ensuring tasks are done can monitor the status of tasks and complete them or reassign them to other users as appropriate.

Answer

Short term leave

If permissible, change the due due date to accommodate the period of leave.
Reassign tasks due in the period to other users.

Extended leave

Reassign tasks due in the period to other users.
'Close and skip' scheduled items if it's permissible to allow the task due in the period to not be completed.
