Requests & approvals

Ask once. Approved in one place.

HR request and approval software for small teams: leave, expenses, equipment, training and "can I ask HR something?" all go into one queue, routed to the right approver by your own policies. No more approvals lost in someone's DMs.

Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.

One queue

One place to ask. One queue to approve.

Everyone makes requests from the same screen, and approvers see everything that needs their decision in Needs My Approval. View it as a list or a board, filter by type or status, and never lose a request again.

  • My Requests, Needs My Approval and All Requests
  • List or Board view, with search and filters
  • Pending, Approved, Declined, Changes requested, Withdrawn, Cancelled
Request types

Request types that come from your policies.

The request types your team sees come from the policies you have published, so a request for new equipment or remote work follows the rules you already wrote. Anything else goes to HR as a private Ask HR request.

  • Leave, Expense or purchase, Remote or workspace, Learning or training
  • Contract or employment, Attendance correction, Benefit or equipment, Other
  • Ask HR: a private request to your HR team
Approval chains

The right approver, in the right order.

Approval chains run in order: the next person is asked only once the one before approves. Rejecting takes a reason, so the person always knows why and what to do next.

  • Sequential approval chains, set by policy
  • Reasons like Missing documents, Budget unavailable or Conflicts with policy
  • Approvers see leave requests under Waiting on you too

Questions about Requests

What kinds of requests can my team make?
Leave, Expense or purchase, Remote or workspace, Learning or training, Contract or employment, Attendance correction, Benefit or equipment, and Other. Ask HR covers anything private.
Can one request need two approvers?
Yes. Approval chains run in order, so a request can go to a manager first and then a department head, the owner or a finance admin.
Is this an employee self-service portal?
Yes. Each person sees their own requests, leave balance, training and policies, and makes new requests without messaging anyone.
What happens when a request is rejected?
The approver picks a reason, like Missing documents or Budget unavailable, and the person sees it. A request can also go back as Changes requested.
