Start from today’s queue
Managers need a concise list of decisions that belong to them, not a tour of every HR module. Search, status, employee context and due actions should be immediately visible.
- Show owned work first
- Separate pending from completed
- Keep filters stable across navigation
Provide decision evidence
A useful approval view explains the request, policy context, relevant history and downstream effect without exposing unrelated employee data.
- Use role-appropriate masking
- Keep comments with the decision
- Warn about conflicts before submission
Close the loop
After action, both manager and employee should see a stable final status and timeline. Notifications should lead back to the authoritative record.
- Persist completed history
- Use canonical deep links
- Handle stale approvals safely
Use this as an operating guide
Adapt the checklist to your policies, legal advice, workforce and implementation scope. A product demonstration should prove the representative workflows you identify here.
