Routing
The payroll authorization will be routed as applicable to: Payroll, Human Resources, Approvers (Chair/Director, Dean, VP of area), Benefits & Compensation Manager, and CFO. *Not all steps will occur for all forms.
At each step, the designated person(s) in each group will receive an email notifying them to take action to approve or deny the request. Each group will review their applicable items (ex. HR checks for new hires and existing assignment conflicts).
Approval Steps for Approvers
See: Nintex - Payroll Authorization for Approvers
Each approver noted on the applicable payroll authorization will receive an email notifying them to take action to approve or deny the request.
Approvers can also access their active tasks via the Nintex Dashboard - https://parkland.workflowcloud.com/dashboard/my/tasks
