HR Automation: Set Up Approval Levels

Choose who reviews and approves HR Automation packs for your property.

What are Approval Levels?

Approval Levels let you choose who reviews HR Automation packs for your property.

You can set up to 3 approval levels. Each level has two people:

  • First Approver
  • Fallback Approver

Either person can give the approval for that level. The Fallback Approver is useful when the First Approver is on holiday, on a different shift, or away from work.

How approvals work

  • Everyone you select is notified as soon as a pack is ready for review.
  • Approvals do not need to happen in order. For example, Approval Level 3 can approve before Approval Level 1.
  • A pack is fully approved only when every level has signed off.

Example

A hotel sets up its approval levels like this:

  • Approval Level 1: Aisha Bello (General Manager). Fallback: Tomasz Nowak (Deputy General Manager)
  • Approval Level 2: Priya Sharma (HR Manager). Fallback: Seán Murphy (HR Assistant)
  • Approval Level 3: Wei Chen (Finance Manager). Fallback: Maria Santos (Group Accountant)

When a new pack is ready, all six people are notified. The pack is fully approved when one person from each level has signed off.

 

Before you start

  • You need access to App Settings > HR Automation > Approval levels. 
  • The people you want to select must already be users in Alkimii.

💡 Tips
  • Choose a Fallback Approver who works different days or shifts from the First Approver. This helps packs get approved without delays.
