Set auto-approval for leave requests

In HRStop, Auto-Approval ensures that leave requests are automatically approved if no action is taken within a specific timeframe. This helps maintain workflow continuity and prevents delays due to unresponsive managers or admins.

How auto-approval works

• If a leave request is not approved or rejected within the defined period, the system automatically approves it.
• You can configure the number of days after which the auto-approval should trigger.

Steps to enable auto-approval

Step 1: Navigate to leave settings

• Go to Control Panel → Settings → Leave.

Step 2: Edit the desired leave category

• Scroll to the leave category for which you want to enable auto-approval.
• Click Edit.

Step 3: Configure approval settings

• Find the section titled Approval Workflow or Auto-Approval.
• Enable the checkbox “Enable Auto-Approval”.
• Set the time duration (e.g., 3, 5, or 7 days) after which the request should be auto-approved if pending.

Step 4: Save the settings

• Click Save to apply the auto-approval configuration.

Best practices

• Clearly communicate this policy to managers to encourage timely action.
• Set a reasonable auto-approval window (e.g., 3–5 working days).
• Monitor reports to track auto-approved requests for audit purposes.
