How do I approve employee requests in Tazk Payroll?
Click Approvals in the sidebar. Requests (leave, permission, attendance correction, half day), Loans and Others (claims, work-from-home and profile updates) each have their own tab. Pick a request from the list to see its details and approval flow on the right, then click Approve, Verify or Approve & Verify — whichever is your step — or Reject with a reason. Only the approver and verifier set up for that request type and department can act on it.

What is in each Approvals tab?
| Tab | Requests | Details shown |
|---|---|---|
| Requests | Leave (for example Loss of Pay), permission (for example During Work Hours, Early Checkout), attendance correction and half day | Date, time off (all day, the permission hours, or the shift times for a correction), attendance log for a correction, note or reason |
| Loans | Loan requests | Requested amount, reason, repayment method (Auto Deduction From Salary or Manual Repayment), tenure period |
| Others | Claims, WFH requests and profile updates | Claim: category, bill date, bill amount, claim amount, remarks, attachments. WFH: location name, add or remove, latitude and longitude. Profile update: the fields being changed. |
Each request in the list shows the employee, the request type, the date and its status, with a coloured edge — orange for Pending, green for Approved, red for Rejected or Cancelled. Above the list, "Pending", "Approved" and "Rejected" count the requests on the current page. Loans and Others appear only if your plan includes them.
What does the request detail show?
Click a request to open it on the right — for example Correction Request, Leave Request, Time Off, Loan Request or Other Request. Besides the request's own details it shows when it was requested and an Approval Flow:
- Approver — Approved or Pending.
- Verifier — Verified, Waiting, or Waiting for approver (the verifier acts after the approver).
Your own row is tagged (You). Below it you see who approved and verified the request, or who rejected or cancelled it and why.
How do I approve, verify or reject a request?
- Open the request. The bottom of the panel shows where it stands — for example Waiting for Approval or Approved - Waiting for Verifier.
- Click the green button for your step: Approve, Verify, or Approve & Verify if you are both. Confirm with Ok.
- For an attendance correction, a dialog then asks for the corrected start and end time — adjust them and click Correct.
- To turn it down, click Reject, enter the reason (required) and click Submit. The employee sees the reason.
The buttons appear only for the approver and verifier set up for that request, and only while it is open. Verify stays disabled until the approver has acted.
Can a request be cancelled or deleted?
- Cancel Request — withdraws a request that is not yet fully approved and verified. The employee who raised it, an Administrator or an HR Manager can cancel it; it can then no longer be approved.
- Delete (bin icon) — removes the request, for users with delete rights on Approvals. A leave, permission or correction request cannot be deleted once that month's salary is confirmed.
How do I filter approval requests?

Click the filter (funnel) icon above the list. The Filter dialog opens with fields that depend on the tab you are on:
| Field | Tabs | What it filters |
|---|---|---|
| From Date / To Date | All | Requests in that date range (DD/MM/YYYY). The From Date cannot be after the To Date. |
| Select Employee | All | Requests from one or more employees. Employees see only their own requests, so the field is locked for them. |
| Request Type | Requests | Leave, Permission, Attendance Correction or Half Day |
| Type | Others | Claims, WFH or Profile |
- Fill in the fields you need and click Apply. The list reloads with only the matching requests, and the dialog closes.
- The funnel shows how many filters are on (a date range counts as one), and the Pending, Approved and Rejected counts change to match the filtered list.
- To remove the filters, open the dialog and click Clear — the full list comes back and the dialog stays open.
Your choices stay while you are on the page, but changing tabs clears them, and they are not kept after you leave the page.
How do I move through the list?
- Use the ‹ and › arrows to move through the list, 15 requests at a time.
- Administrators also see an eye icon with the number of requests nobody has opened yet. Click it to show only those; click again (View All) to show everything. Unopened requests have a small blue dot.
- Changing tabs returns to the first page.
Who decides which approver gets a request?
An Administrator sets it in Approval Configuration (Configuration → Approvals): click Add Approval, choose the Department, the Request Type(s), one or more approvers (Select Approver, which can be the employee's Reporting Manager) and optionally a verifier (Select Verifier), then click Create approval. If no approver is set up, the approval flow shows Not configured.
