Go to ConsoleSettingsPeople and HR.
- Find Who approves changes to people's jobs.
- Choose HR only, Line manager, then HR, No approval or, on Enterprise, Custom chain.
- Select Save. New changes follow it from now; ones already waiting keep their steps.
Good to Know
- HR only is the default.
- With No approval, a change stands as soon as it's asked for and applies on its date. HR is told.
- A line manager never approves a change to a job alone. HR, or a named person, always has the last word.
- Changes HR makes themselves apply on their date unless they choose to send them for approval.
If Something Goes Wrong
- You can't change it. Only HR, Owners and Admins for the whole organisation change who approves changes to jobs.
- Custom chain asks you to see plans. Custom chains come with Enterprise. Choose one of the others.
