Approval Workflow

A structured, multi-step process for reviewing and approving requests like leave, salary revisions, or reimbursements.

An Approval Workflow is a structured process for routing a request — leave, a salary revision, a reimbursement claim — through the right sequence of reviewers before it's finalised. It replaces ad hoc approvals over chat or email with a consistent, trackable chain.

Approval workflows become genuinely necessary once a company has more than one layer of management — without a structured process, the same leave request can end up approved twice, or lost entirely in a busy manager's inbox.
