Depending on the defined amount-based approval chain at your company, you may be included as an approver for fund requests submitted by your team members.
Notes on approving and declining fund requests
Based on the type of approval chain, after you approve a fund request, all relevant approvers along the approval chain will be duly notified.
If you are the final approver in the approval chain, the funds will be ready to spend by the requester after your approval and the requester will also be notified by Payhawk.
Once you've declined a fund request, the employee who submitted the request will be notified with a push notification on their phone and an email. They will also be able to view the reason for your rejecting the fund request.
Accessing fund requests
You can access a fund request from your phone or computer from the email request notification you have received.
Alternatively, open the Payhawk mobile app on your phone or log in to the Payhawk web portal with your browser, and access the request from your Payhawk Inbox.
