ApproveThis manages your MyHR Integration approvals.

When HR Meets Approval Automation

Let's cut to the chase: HR teams are drowning in paperwork while managers waste hours chasing signatures. MyHR handles the people stuff, ApproveThis handles the decision-making bureaucracy. Together? They turn "Hey, can you approve this?" into "It's already done."

For companies between 50-5,000 employees, this integration isn't just nice-to-have—it's the difference between scaling smoothly and drowning in approval limbo. We're talking real-time sync between employee requests and decision workflows, without forcing your CFO to learn another software.

How This Duo Actually Works

Connect MyHR and ApproveThis through Zapier (no dev team required). When someone submits a leave request in MyHR, ApproveThis automatically routes it to the right approvers. When your team greenlights a new hire in ApproveThis, their details pop into MyHR. No spreadsheets. No "Did you get my email?"

The magic happens in three areas:

• Leave management that doesn't require mind-reading: Auto-create approval chains when PTO requests hit specific thresholds
• Onboarding without the papercuts: Trigger HR record updates the moment hiring approvals finalize
• Compliance that actually complies: Audit trails showing exactly who approved what—and why

Real Scenarios for Real Companies

1. The Manufacturing Play

Picture a 300-employee equipment manufacturer. Union rules require supervisor + safety officer approval for any leave exceeding 5 days. MyHR collects the request, ApproveThis routes it through both departments simultaneously. If either rejects, the employee gets instant feedback. No HR middleman.

ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically flag requests over 5 days, while MyHR tracks remaining PTO balances. Production manager stays out of the weeds.

2. The Tech Startup Move

A 150-person SaaS company needs to onboard 30 new hires this quarter. Recruiting team approves candidates in ApproveThis (with hiring manager + legal sign-off). Zapier pushes approved profiles to MyHR, auto-creating employee records. HR doesn't manually enter data; IT gets notified to provision accounts.

ApproveThis' vacation delegation ensures approvals never stall if a manager's OOO. MyHR becomes the single source of truth without extra data entry.

3. The Healthcare Hack

A 700-employee clinic network handles sensitive leave requests (FMLA, ADA accommodations). MyHR collects initial docs, ApproveThis routes to department head, HRBP, and legal—in order. Only when all three approve does MyHR update the employee's status.

Approval thresholds in ApproveThis automatically escalate high-risk requests. MyHR maintains perfect compliance records for audits.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Here's the brass tacks:

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works for testing)
2. Connect MyHR and ApproveThis as apps
3. Pick your trigger ("New leave request in MyHR" or "Approved request in ApproveThis")
4. Map critical fields (employee ID, dates, approval type)
5. Test with one department before company-wide rollout

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to handle edge cases upfront. Example: If request_type = "Medical Leave" AND duration > 14 days, require legal team approval automatically.

Why Your Teams Will Actually Like This

For HR:

No more being the approval police. MyHR stays clean because ApproveThis handles the messy back-and-forth. When Jane in Accounting bugs you about her pending leave approval, you can literally say "Check ApproveThis" instead of digging through emails.

For Finance:

Approval thresholds mean no more $50K purchases getting rubber-stamped by junior managers. Set rules that auto-approve small expenses but route big ones up the chain. All while keeping MyHR's financial data in sync.

For Operations:

Know exactly who's approved for leave next week without asking HR. ApproveThis' real-time dashboard shows approvals/denials, which sync to MyHR's scheduling tools. No more shift coverage surprises.

The Nuts and Bolts You Care About

ApproveThis plays nice with MyHR's existing structure:

• Approver licenses: External partners can approve requests without a MyHR login (saves $)
• Data sync: Employee IDs, department codes, and approval reasons stay consistent between systems
• Security: Role-based access in both tools means interns can't approve exec hires

Bonus: ApproveThis' email approvals work even for managers who live in Outlook. MyHR data stays updated regardless.

No-BS Next Steps

If your company's using MyHR and still doing approvals via email/Slack/stone tablets:

1. Sign up for ApproveThis' free trial
2. Pick one process to automate (leave requests work well)
3. Build the Zapier integration in <20 mins using their pre-built template

Or schedule a 15-minute demo to see how a 500-person retail chain cut approval delays by 80%. No sales jargon—just real workflows.

FAQs for the Skeptics

"What if we already have approval rules in MyHR?"
ApproveThis adds layers MyHR can't: multi-department sign-offs, conditional escalation, and proper audit trails. It's the difference between a sticky note and a blockchain.

"How much training is needed?"
If your team can forward emails, they can use ApproveThis. Seriously—the email approval option means zero new UI for most approvers.

"What about existing data?"
Zapier handles historical data imports. Sync past approvals into MyHR once, then keep everything live moving forward.

Bottom Line

MyHR keeps your employee data clean. ApproveThis keeps your decisions moving. Together, they turn "Where's that approval?" into "It's already handled." For companies hitting growth spurts (or compliance headaches), that’s not just efficiency—it’s survival.

Get started before your next audit or hiring spree blows up the current system.
