Can Expense Report Approvers Normally View Skip Level Unapproved Expense Reports?

We have Approval Routing turned on for Expense Reports and a custom workflow that uses the "Expense Approver" field in the Employee record.

Recently, an Expense Approver was able to see the unapproved reports for not only their subordinates (employees with them listed as the Expense Approver) but also their subordinates' subordinates. I would expect that they should only see their subordinates' unapproved reports, because they can only approve those reports.

Is this a recent change in the system? I can't figure out what could have been changed in our custom workflow that could cause this.

All employees involved are using the standard Employee Center role.

Howdy, Stranger!
