How to Set Custom Settings, Approval Sequences in ZuriHR

ZuriHR allows organizations to set up custom approval workflows for various HR-related actions such as leave requests, payroll approvals, overtime, and more.

Step 1: Navigate to Approval Settings

  1. From the ZuriHR dashboard, go to Settings.

  2. Click on Organisation.

When you create an account for the first time, ZuriHR provides a default settings configuration. You can customize this based on your company’s structure.

Step 2: Access the Approval Settings Tab

  1. Inside the Organisation section, you will see three tabs:

    • Organisation Settings

    • Approval Settings

    • Attendance Settings

  2. Click on the Approval Settings tab.

Step 3: Configure Approvals

You will now see a left-hand menu listing all the approval categories:

  • Payroll

  • Overtime

  • Attendance

  • Absenteeism

  • Advance Pay

  • Expense Claim

  • Losses/Damage

  • Leave

  1. Click on any category (e.g., Leave) to view the current list of approvers.

  2. For each approver listed, you will see:

    • Their approval sequence

    • The departments they can approve

    • The regions they are authorized to approve

Step 4: Manage and Customize Approvers

  • To add a new approver, scroll to the bottom of the list and select a user from the dropdown.

  • To change the approval sequence, drag and drop the approvers to reorder them.

  • Adjust the approval sequence number to match the new order.

 Repeat this process for each category listed in the left menu.

Step 5: Approval Workflow in Action

Once set up:

  • System users assigned as approvers will be responsible for authorizing various HR actions.

  • Approvers will receive email notifications whenever an approval request is pending.

 This ensures your organization's workflows remain streamlined and compliant with internal processes.
