Frequently asked questions

Can different departments have different approval chains?

Yes. Approval matrices are configured by action type, department, employee grade, and amount thresholds.

What happens if an approver is on leave?

Delegation rules route requests to a designated backup. If no delegation is set, escalation to the next level triggers automatically.

Can approvers approve from email?

Yes. Notification emails include approve/reject buttons. One-click approval without logging into the app.

Is there a complete audit trail?

Yes. Every approval decision is logged with the approver, timestamp, and any rejection reason. Fully exportable for audits.
