How to configure auto-approval settings if an employee requests a comp-off (or any leave) and no action is taken by the manager?

Modified on Tue, 9 May, 2023 at 6:08 PM

Currently, Keka does not allow requests to be auto-approved if the approver does not take any action. Auto-approval will only occur if the approver is not registered with Keka, has not been assigned the relevant role, or has been relieved of their duties.


To enable auto-approval, first navigate to the Time Attend (1) section and then click on Leave (2). Make sure you're on the Leave Plans (3) tab and select the relevant leave plan from the left panel. Next, find the leave type you want to enable auto-approval for and click on the menu (three dots) under the Actions column, then select Settings (4).



Click Save & Continue on the first section to proceed to the Applying Leave & Approvals section and make sure that an approval chain has been set up. 


Under this, enable the 'Auto-approve (and skip) approver level, in case approver is not yet registered with Keka, not yet assigned respective role (e.g. RM, Project Manager, Department Head/Business unit Head etc.) or has been relieved' option. Click Save & Continue and exit the window if there are no other updates needed.
