4. Choose the amount of Stages you require.
5. Select whether this stage will be a Signing Stage.
6. Choose who will approve each stage.

The following table lists who you can select to be the approver for each stage.

HR Professional user(s) Will send documents for approval to all HR Professional users within the organisation.
Restricted HR Professional user(s) Will send documents for approval to all Restricted HR Professional users (who have Full access to the employee) within the organisation.
All HR Professional and Restricted HR Professional user(s) Will send documents for approval to all HR Professional users, Full and Restricted (who have Full access to the employee) within the organisation.
Supervisor Will send documents for approval to the employee's primary supervisor.
Second Level Supervisor Will send documents for approval to the supervisor of the employee's primary supervisor.
Org Unit Manager Will send documents for approval to the manager of the employee's primary Org Unit.
Specific User Will send documents for approval to any user that you choose. Enter the user's name or click to search for the user.
Approvers by Type Will send documents for approval to all approvers of a particular type that have been added on an employee's Approvers by Type screen. For more information, see: Approvers by Type.
7. Tick any relevant Stage Options. For more information, see: Stage Options. The eSign process flow contains two unique Stage Options:
    • Allow Participant to 'Reject' - this option can be used if you want to enable someone to reject the document itself. For example, you may want to send the document to someone to review before going to the employee and giving them the option to reject if there were mistakes or spelling errors. When a participant rejects the document, they must enter a reason for the rejection.
    • Allow Participant to 'Refuse to Sign' - this option can be used if you have a document which is only optional for the employee to sign. For example, it may be that you send out a document and it is up to the employee whether they sign or not, in this case if the option is used, the employee could then refuse to sign. When a participant refuses to sign a document, they must enter a reason for the refusal to sign.
8. If you have selected either to Allow Participant to 'Reject' or to Allow Participant to 'Refuse to Sign', a Rejection / Refusal Stage will be added to the bottom of the stages. You will need to select which user(s) the rejected / refusals are sent to and whether you want to Send an e-mail and / or have the stage Auto-approved.

Note:

  • The selected Rejection / Refusal user cannot send the document back to the stage it was rejected / refused from. The Rejection / Refusal Stage is there to notify someone that the document has been rejected or the participant has refused to sign.
  • To restart the process if the document was rejected, you will need to make amendments and then restart the eSign process.
