How Requests and Approvals Flow (Current Scope)

How requests get approved in WorkVell, and what can be configured today.

【How it flows】

When an employee submits a request it becomes "Pending". Someone with the matching approval permission then approves or returns it.

【What is available today】

Single-approver approval is supported.
Multi-step approval (manager → HR), branching by amount or count, delegate approval, and automatic escalation past a deadline are all in preparation and cannot be configured.

【Deciding who approves】

Approval rights come from roles (permissions).

1.Open Admin menu → Role Management.
2.In the role's "Delegated admin functions", tick the item for the request type.

　- Leave requests: Leave Management

　- Overtime requests: Overtime Request Management

　- Travel requests: Travel Management

　- Expense requests: Expense Approval

【Approving】

Approvers see what needs them under "Approvals" in the side menu.
Admins can also act from "Leave Approvals", "Overtime Approvals", "Travel Approval", and "Expense Approvals".
