How do I assign an approval process to a department?

Approval processes are assigned to departments. When you assign a position to a department, the department determines the approval process that will apply to the employee filling the position.

 

Before you get started

  • Add an approval process to the Approval Process table (Payroll > Organization > Approval Processes).

 

Assigning an approval process to a department

1. Open Connect Payroll > Organization > Departments.

2. Click to select the field titled Department, and then enter a department name. Press Enter.

3. Click to select the Timekeeping tab.

4. Find the field titled Approval Process and click Search.

A Search form displays a list of available approval processes. Remember, the Search form only displays the approval processes that have been set up and saved in the Approval Process table (Payroll > Organization > Approval Processes).

5. Click to select an approval process.

6. Click OK.

The approval process is assigned to the department. All of the positions that have been assigned to the department will also be assigned to this approval process. You can override the department's approval process at the employee level.
