Hi,

Depends on how the configuration is done.. There is a FYI setting for instance in Business Alerts. You can also forward the approval to a superior manager if you are on vacation for example. The superior will not get notified after a certain period, however - you can always see in the record status if approval needs to be done and by whom.

Here you can read more about approvals:
