Approving and finalizing HR requests

HR requests—also known as employment change requests or personnel action forms—can be raised by managers through Sage People WX to change team member records. Changes requested typically include salary details and job profile changes. Change requests can include a primary reason for the change, such as promotion, job change, or cost of living. Each request follows an approval process to ensure that changes are fully authorized before employment records are updated. Typically, approvers receive requests to approve through the Sage People Actions and use WX to approve, or reject, HR requests. The approval process may include HR as one of the approval stages before HR finalization. You can approve HR requests in WX. When HR requests were created in s single action, you can approve in bulk.

A primary reason selected for a salary change is copied to the Change Reason field on the Salary record when the HR request has been finalized.

To view HR requests for a team member, go to the team member's employment record and scroll down to the HR Requests related list. You can edit or delete individual requests from here.

Finalizing an HR request implements the changes requested.

Note

You cannot manually update the status of an HR request to Finalized by adding a Finalized Date to the request details, you have to use the Finalize button on the HR Requests tab, or have the HR Request Finalize batch job (for more information see Configure page options) do it for you.

To finalize HR requests singly or in bulk go to the HR Requests tab:

  1. Select a view that shows the type of request you want to finalize:
