How will I know there are changes to be reviewed?
There are two ways you will know a team member's employment detail updates need review and approval.
The first way is when you visit the Payroll tab in the employee's profile you will see a message at the top to indicate there are changes to review.
The second way, is by setting up notifications to ensure you are automatically informed when team members update their employment details.
You will receive an email to let you know you have changes to review.
Click Review changes.
You will then be linked directly to the team member's profile to review the changes.
Who can approve team member-initiated employment detail changes?
Any manager who has permission to view and edit the payroll information for a team member will have the permission to approve or reject team member initiated employment detail changes.
How do I review and approve team member-initiated employment detail changes?
On the Deputy website, open the team member's profile and select the Payroll tab on the left-hand side. Click on Review changes.
There will be summary of the number of fields that have been changed by the team member in each section. The fields that have been updated are also highlighted.
You can selectively approve or reject each of the sections as required.
If you choose to reject a specific section you will be required to add a reason.
The page will be updated to show which sections have been approved and which ones have been rejected. The team member will receive an email (and bell alert on Deputy website or push notification if logged into the Deputy mobile app) to inform them of manager approved and/or rejected information including the reason you supplied.
You can see that once you approve employment details they are saved to the team member profile but rejected information is not saved.
Can I make updates to the team member's details myself?
Yes, you can make changes to employment details directly within the team member's profile even if the team member did not initiate a change however be informed that the team member will receive an email to inform them of the changes you have made.
