Pending Approvals - Gender Identity Change Page

Note: Gender identity changes are triggered when an employee updates the Gender (Current Sex) field because approval may be needed since current sex is used in various benefits and compensation related processes. All other gender identity updates made in the Personal Details pages (Birth Sex, Pronoun, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity) automatically update the HR system without needing approval.

The approval options on this page are common to all fluid approval transactions, as described in the documentation for the Pending Approvals - <Transaction Details> Page.
