Overview
If you have the Time & Attendance module enabled and possess the Approve Time Clocking permission, you can access the Review & Approve section. Talexio also allows you to configure multiple approvers for employee clockings. This article explains how to set up and manage multi-level clocking approvals.
Permissions
To configure Multiple Approvers, you will need the Manage Permissions permission. To review and approve employee clockings, you will need the Approve Time Clocking permission.
Setting up Multiple Approvers
- Go to the Permissions section in Talexio.
-
Select the specific Access Level or Employee for whom you want to add or edit the approval quota.
-
Set the required number of approvers for the Approve Time Clocking permission and click Save.
Once saved, the required approval count will display directly next to the permission indicator:
Permissions can be assigned to a specific employee, business unit, or globally. Ensure that the Approve Time Clocking permission is assigned to all designated approvers.
Clocking Approval Process
Once multiple approvers are configured, shift approvals follow a multi-step verification process:
- First Approval: When the first approver reviews and approves shifts under Time & Attendance > Review & Approve, the system displays the message: “Shift hours approved by you, waiting for more approvals.”
- Duplicate Approval Attempt: If the first approver attempts to approve the same shift again, the system displays: “There are no pending shifts to approve.”
- Second Approval: When the second approver logs into Talexio and accesses Review & Approve, the pending shift will be visible for final approval. Upon completion, a confirmation message appears: “1 shift has been approved.”
- Payroll Processing: Once all required approvers have approved the shift, it moves to the Reviewed section and can be processed for payroll.
