Approval of Confirmation Appraisal

When the employee completes and submits the Confirmation Appraisal form, it will be routed to the approver for approval.

Confirmation appraisal can have multiple levels of approvals. In this case, when the first level approver approves the form, it will be sent to the next level, based on the configurations.

If the first level (L1) approver has not acted on the confirmation appraisal process within the stipulated time, then it would be automatically moved to the second level (L2) approver with auto approved comments and configured settings.

This can be achieved using the parameter “CONF_DAYS_L1” and “AUTO_MOVEMENT_RATING” parameters.

To approve a confirmation appraisal,

Select ‘Forms pending for your approval’ from “Workflow forms”. Select ‘Confirmation Appraisal’ from this list. On selecting the form name, the list of requests that are awaiting approval will be shown as below:
