Approving or Declining an Employee Change Request

After an employee change request is created, each approver set by your company’s defined workflow must approve the request. Approvers receive an email when it is their turn to approve or decline the request.

To approve or decline an employee change request:

1. On the Employee tab, go to the Home Links portlet.

2. Expand Employee Change Requests and click Approve Pending Requests.

3. Click View next to the request you want to approve.

4. Review the request, and then click Approve to approve the request, or click Decline to decline the request.

5. In the Comments field, enter an explanation for why you approve or decline the request. You must give a reason if you decline the request.

   If you approve the request, one of the following occurs:

   • If you are not the final approver, an email notification is sent to the next approver to approve or decline the request.

   • If you are the final approver, the changes are applied to the employee’s record on the proposed date.

   If you decline the request, the next approvers can no longer approve the request. An email with your declining reason is sent to the manager who requested the employee change request.

   An email is sent to the requester when an employee change request is completed successfully.
