You will see Leave Applications or Profile Changes with a Status of In Approval when:
The application needs to be approved by more than one approver or manager, and
not all approvers or managers have approved the application.
Once all approvers or managers have approved the application, the Status will change to Approved.
You can check the approval workflow for an Employee:
Find the Employee and select Teams & Roles.
Click on the ellipsis button (three dots) and select Approval Process.
This will show the approvers who need to approve Leave Applications or Profile Changes.
If the team listed in the Leave Application Workflow has been renamed or deleted, then an Administrator will need to approve the application or change by:
Go to Approvals.
Use the drop-down list to select Other Approvals.
Find the application.
Click on Pending Approval.
Click Approve.
You will also need to update the Leave Application Workflow. For more information, refer to the article MicrOpay ESS - Change the Leave Workflow in ESS.
