You can create approval workflows within Access People Hospitality by configuring the approval structure against each post. This includes setting the Reports To / Line Manager and each of the individual approval types.

Approval Types

There are several different approval types in the system, these range from leave requests, salary change, new employments and ATS onboarding. Please see the below for a description of all of the available approval types:

  • ATS Onboarding - Who should approve the new employees sent via ATS Onboarding into this post?

  • Expenses - If an employee in this post submits an expense claim, who should approve it?

  • Leave - If an employee in this post submits a leave request, who should approve it?

  • New Employments - If an employee is added to this post directly in Access People, who should approve the new employment? Please note, this does not cover transferring employees.

  • Onboarding - If an employee is added to this post through the Access People recruitment system, who should approve the new employee?

  • Payroll Claims - If an employee in this post submits a payroll claim, who should approve it?

  • Salary Changes - If a salary change is added to an employee in this post, who should approve it?

  • Shift Swap - If an employee in this post requests a shift swap, who should approve it?

  • Sickness - If an employee in this post submits a sickness request, who should approve it?

  • Time In Lieu - If an employee in this post submits Time in Lieu, who should approve it?

  • Timesheets - If an employee in this post submits a timesheet, who should approve it?

  • Training - If an employee submits a training request, who should approve it?

  • Vacancies - If a vacancy is created for this post for the Access People recruitment system, who should approve it?

There are 4 available approval types:

  1. Line Manager is Approval - the request will go directly to the listed Reports To / Line Manager for the post.

  2. Use Approval Group - the request will be sent to an employee in the approval group.

  3. Select Approver - the request will be sent to a specific employee for approval.

  4. Auto Approve - the request will automatically be approved. This is not available for all approval types.

If you require multi-level approvals for a specific approval type e.g. Salary Changes must have a two-stage approval, this can be configured.
