You can set up a new employee to auto approve, so you can reduce your admin work.

You can set a new employee to Auto Approve when you don’t want their employment to go through the approval workflow.

What does it mean and why it's useful

If you set up a new employee to auto approve that means:

  • No notification is sent to a line manager.

  • No one has to manually approve the starter.

  • The employment becomes active straight away.

Setting up a new employee to auto-approve is useful if:

  • You’re adding employees in bulk.

  • The role doesn’t require managerial sign-off.

  • You want to avoid delays in getting someone active and paid.

By default, new starters do require approval, so this setting is basically a way to skip that step when it’s not needed.

Set up a new employee to auto-approve

You can set the post to be auto approved, ollow the below steps:

  1. Go to the employees' profile by using the organisation search then open their profile

  2. Click Approval and then click Approvers.

  3. Under New Employments, click Edit.

  4. From the drop-down select Auto Approve then click Save.

The employment will now be approved automatically and won’t go to a line manager for sign-off.
