How hr approval delegation works

1
Choose the responsibility
Identify which HR workflow needs another approver. Use the supported workflow-type setting to keep the delegated authority appropriate to that responsibility.
2
Set the validity window
Select the delegate and the relevant start and end dates. Confirm the person and scope before creating the delegation through the authorized HR Settings workflow.
3
Review active delegations
Use the active delegation list to check who can approve on your behalf. Revisit the arrangement as responsibilities change; delegation does not remove the approval rules of the underlying process.
