Why approvals matter
Payroll moves real money to many people at once. A wrong figure or a bad actor can do a lot of damage in one run. Separating preparation from approval — maker-checker — is the control that catches both.
Designing the chain
- Separate roles: preparer, reviewer/approver, and (optionally) a final release step.
- Sanity limits: flag unusually large payments or totals for a human to confirm.
- An immutable audit trail of who approved what, and when.
- A verify-and-release step before disbursement for higher-risk runs.
How KaziPeople supports this
KaziPeople runs configurable approval chains on payroll, supports optional payout sanity caps and a verify-and-release gate, and records an immutable audit trail — so approvals are enforced, not just policy on paper.
