Approval chains and delegating

Set who approves leave, claims, salary revisions and other requests, and hand your approvals over while you're away.

Updated 15 October 2026

What you’ll do: change who approves each kind of request, and pass your own approvals to a colleague while you’re on leave.

Who can do this: org admins set approval chains. Every employee can hand over their own approvals.

Setting an approval chain

In Dexta Hub, open Approval chains under Admin.
Pick the kind of request: Leave, Attendance correction, Overtime, rest-day work and comp-off, Shift swap, Expense claim, Advance, Loan or salary advance, One-off payment, Salary revision, Profile change or Letter.
Click Add a step, then Add an approver. Set How many must approve at that step.
Use Only for some requests for a step that applies only sometimes, and If nobody decides in time for what happens when a step waits too long.
Click Try it for a person to see who would approve a request from them. Then click Save chain.

Open Approvals while away in the left menu.
Under Hand your approvals to someone, choose Who, the First day and Last day, and add a Note (optional).
Click Hand over my approvals. Requests that would come to you go to them for those days.

A chain you haven’t changed shows Today’s flow. One you’ve edited shows Changed; Undo my changes goes back.
My approvals go to and I approve for show every hand-over, marked Now, Coming up or Ended.
Org admins see all current hand-overs under Approving for someone else.
