Exact navigation Admin Area → Human Resources → Employee Record Centre → Select employee → Approval Queue
Code-backed scope These instructions follow Human Resource Management v1.3.0. Use only controls visible to your permission level and confirm the saved record or audit entry after every action.

What you need before you start

  • Access to Admin Area → Human Resources → Employee Record Centre → Select employee → Approval Queue.
  • The Human Resource Management: Approve capability or administrator access.
  • The correct employee, record, period or authorised evidence.

How to do it

  1. Open the pending request.
  2. Review the changed fields and original amendment reason.
  3. Enter the required rejection reason in Decision note.
  4. Click Reject.
  5. Confirm the request status is Rejected and the current employee record is unchanged.

What the module checks

  • Only pending requests can be rejected.
  • A rejection note is required.
  • The request and decision remain in Change History.

What happens next

The module saves the permitted change and records the resulting status, version, delivery or synchronisation evidence. Reopen the relevant register and verify it.

Troubleshooting

  • If the control is missing, confirm the required HRM permission and module version 1.3.0.
  • If saving fails, correct the exact field or state named in the validation message.
  • If an email/automation is missing, review the module delivery/audit log and host cron/mail settings.
HR data safety Restrict identity, right-to-work, payroll, bank, health, disciplinary and document information to authorised staff. Do not place protected values in free-text notes, email recipients or screenshots.
