Resignation Approval

Everything approvers need — from individual and bulk actions to group, admin, and history views of every resignation request.

User: My Team → Exit Management → Approval | Admin: Workflow → Approval Management
Before You Start
  • Approver role assigned in the Resignation Workflow, or Admin access
  • Pending resignation requests in your queue
  • Access to the relevant No Dues forms if they're required at your stage
What You'll Achieve
  • Approve or reject requests individually or in bulk
  • See everything pending across the Group and Outstanding Approval tabs
  • Full audit visibility of approvals across the organization (admins)

Approval Actions

Two ways to action requests — one at a time, or in bulk.

Individual Approval
One request at a time
Each record has action icons beside it:
✓ Tick to approve · ✗ Cross to reject.
Bulk Approval
Several at once
Tick the checkbox above the Title column to select all pending records, then click Approve or Reject in the action bar.

Approval Tabs

Each tab shows a different slice of pending work.

TAB 1
My Approval
Managers and approvers see all resignation requests pending for their direct reports. They can approve or reject based on the information submitted.
TAB 2
Group Approval
Visible only when you're part of an approval group. Any member can claim a task — it then moves to their My Approval tab. If they need to step away, the task can be reassigned to another group member for seamless delegation.
TAB 3 · Admin
Outstanding Approval
Admin-only view. Shows every pending request across every approver in the organization — useful for unblocking stuck approvals and running weekly exit reviews.
On This Screen
The Approval list shows each request with employee, designation, date applied, and action icons. Use the tab strip at the top to switch between My / Group / Outstanding views.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I reject a request?
The employee gets a notification and the resignation moves to a rejected state. They can then raise a new request if needed, or the Admin can initiate one on their behalf.
Can I undo an approval?
Once approved and progressed past your stage, you can't unapprove — but an Admin can still cancel the resignation from the Admin Process view before the exit date lapses.
Why don't I see the Group Approval tab?
That tab is only visible if your user is part of at least one approver group. If you expect to see it, ask your Admin to add you to the relevant group.
As a group member, what does "claiming" a task mean?
Claiming pulls the task out of the shared pool into your personal My Approval tab. Other group members can no longer action it unless you reassign it back.
