# Multi-Level and Multi-Company Leave Approval in One Dashboard

> Gadjian's multilevel approval is a tiered leave and permit approval system that lets HR at a holding company manage approval workflows across branch companies with different supervisors, all from one dashboard. It is designed for corporate groups with complex organizational structures and multiple legal entities.

## What is Gadjian's Multilevel Approval System?
Multilevel approval is a Gadjian feature that routes employee leave and permit requests through several supervisor levels before final approval. The feature lets a parent (holding) company account connect with subsidiary company accounts, so HR can manage organizational structure, workflows, and approvals across branches from one integrated dashboard. The organizational structure can be built using a drag-and-drop builder in just minutes.

## Who is this feature for?
- Holding companies with multiple subsidiaries: need one dashboard to monitor and configure approvals across all entities.
- Companies with many branches and different supervisors: need approval flows that can be customized per branch.
- Corporate groups with multiple tax IDs (multi-NPWP): need centralized HR administration despite different legal entities.
- HR teams at companies with complex organizational structures: need a transparent, easily editable organizational chart.

## Key Features
| Feature | Function | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Parent Company Access | Holding account connects with and manages subsidiary accounts | HQ HR teams |
| Drag & Drop Organizational Structure | Build an organizational chart in minutes | HR admins |
| Multi-Level Approval | Define a leave approval flow to avoid disputes later on | Supervisors & managers |
| Manage Multi-Companies | Manage companies with multiple tax IDs (multi-NPWP) in one dashboard | Holding company HR teams |

## How does it work?
1. HQ HR connects the parent company account with branch/subsidiary company accounts.
2. Build the organizational structure with drag & drop according to each branch's hierarchy.
3. Define the tiered approval sequence for each branch or division.
4. Employees submit leave/permit requests online, and the system automatically forwards them to the next-level approver until final sign-off.

## Can each branch have a different supervisor and approval flow?
Yes, Gadjian lets you assign different supervisors and approval paths for each branch company or division. Every unit can have its own approval structure, keeping the system aligned with your real-world hierarchy even when your company has many branches.

|---|---|---|
