Multi-step approval chains with delegation

Available

Configure who has to sign off on each kind of change: direct manager, then HR partner, then payroll for salary changes. Delegation rules cover vacations and out-of-office automatically — no more changes stuck because Paul is on PTO.

Each pending change carries its own approval chain — direct manager, HR partner, and (for salary changes) payroll.

For the operator

Configure who has to sign off on each change type — direct manager, then HR partner, then payroll for salary changes, then VP Ops for cross-LOB transfers. Delegation rules cover vacations and out-of-office automatically; nothing gets stuck because Paul's on PTO. Approvers see only what's pending their action; the requester sees real-time status.

Business impact

Approval bottlenecks on routine HR changes — transfers, role changes, salary adjustments — silently inflate cycle time on people work that operationally needs to land fast. Multi-step chains with delegation cut that cycle time and remove the embarrassing 'we approved that two weeks ago and it never happened' surface area. Manager and VP time is the most-leveraged resource in any operation; not making them the bottleneck is the productivity dividend.
