Case Study 1: Job Requisition Life-cycle

What happens when a Job Requisition is being submitted, which is an HR function that takes about 1 week to be processed?

• The HOD types in a Job Requisition, signs it, and sends it down to the Human Resources Department.
• The HR Manager reviews the job requisition, compares it with allocated budget, reviews the salary, signs it, and sends to the Financial Controller (FC).
• The FC reviews again all of the above and signs the request.
• The Job Requisition then goes to the GM for the final approval.

With Bayan Workflow, budget is being calculated automatically and vacancies are clearly visible while all it takes is a quick review.
