  1. Go to ConsolePeopleChange requests. The menu shows how many are waiting for you.

  2. Read each change: what changes, from what to what, from when and why.
  3. Select Approve, or Decline and write a Note they'll see.

An approved change applies now, or on its date if that's still to come. If there's another step, it goes to the next approver.

Good to Know

  • Waiting for someone else lists changes at another approver's step, such as a line manager's before HR's.
  • Nobody approves their own change.
  • Approvers who are away are covered by their deputies, and a change nobody decides moves up after the time your organisation sets.
  • You choose how you're told about changes waiting for you in Your accountYour alerts.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • It says "Nothing waiting for you". No change needs your decision now. Check Waiting for someone else.
  • An approved change shows "Couldn't be applied". Something changed before its date. Whoever asked is told why, and HR makes a new change.
