Approval by Department and Approval by Hierarchy are two approval routing methods available in the system. They determine how leave, claim, and attendance requests are routed for approval.
Approval by Department
Approval is based on the employee's assigned department.
Each department can have different assigned approvers.
If multiple approvers are assigned to a department, all approvers must approve the leave application.
Leave will only be fully approved after all required departmental approvers have approved it.
Approval by Hierarchy
Approval is based on the organisation's reporting structure.
The direct superior of an employee becomes the approver.
Approval follows the chain of command within the organisation.
Example: If Employee A is the superior of Employee B, Employee A will approve Employee B’s leave. If additional approval levels are configured, the request will continue to the next approver in the hierarchy after Employee A approves it.
