In addition to managing your payroll in PayFit, you can also subscribe to our HRIS Module, combining HR and Payroll on one platform. The module includes the following features:
Create a smoother experience for new employees by creating an onboarding questionnaire to gather employee information.
Allow employees to manage their leaves from their employee space.
Create your org chart and make it visible to only admins, or employees too.
Allow access for employees and managers to document their regular 1:1 reviews.
Create workflows for indirect managers to receive requests to approve leaves, expenses, and time-tracking when the employee's usual manager isn't available.
This article focuses on the workflows feature of the HRIS module, but please take a look at the articles above to explore the additional features.
Feature overview
Using a workflow is a great way to allow a manager or admin, who does not directly manage the employee, to approve leaves, expenses, and time-tracking. This can help if the employee's usual manager is absent or the approvals can be managed by a senior manager instead.
✅ Set up backup contacts to approve expenses, validate leaves, or approve time-tracking.
✅ Assign teams to indirect managers to ensure validations are not missed.
✅ Allow access to managers or admins to view all leaves.
❌ The approver must be set up as a manager or an admin.
