Use this application to approve life event selections made by employees in the Life Events/New Hires module in Employee Self Service (ESS). When you open this screen, the table window displays all the life event selections that employees made in ESS that require approval.
Check this screen regularly to determine whether an employee has submitted a life event for approval. If a life event is set up to require approval, the employee cannot go through the life event's user flow until it is approved. After approving a life event, the employee must be notified so that he can begin the life event's user flow process in ESS.
