Definition

Collaborative approval refers to leveraging systems and standardized processes to handle and manage approval tasks in the workplace, such as initiating approvals for leave requests, expense reimbursements, or other special applications.

Scenarios

Approval scenarios are diverse. Below are common use cases:
Leave Approval: Employees submit leave requests through the system, which are then reviewed by their direct supervisors or the HR Dept.
Business Trip Approval: Employees must submit trip applications—including itineraries and budgets—for supervisor approval before traveling.
Expense Reimbursement Approval: Employees submit reimbursement forms for work-related expenses, which require approval from both supervisors and the Finance Dept.
Overtime Approval: Employees must request overtime in advance, subject to supervisor approval to ensure its necessity.
