The new Employee File Change Approval Workflow has replaced this legacy version of Employee File Approval Processes found under settings. To learn how to create a Employee File Change Approval Workflow, see this article.

The Employee File Approvals Set Up feature lets you configure your organisation's process for approving changes to employee files on your HR platform. It allows you to designate approvers, edit the approval process as needed, and remove outdated entries. Before using these features, you must enable the open beta feature, Approvals, through the Beta Flask drop-down by selecting Opt-in. Keep in mind, this feature is still under development and may change. For more information on enabling this beta feature, please refer to the linked article.
