Reassign Approver When I-9 Section 2 Is Open

Abstract

A user can reassign/update the I-9 Section 2 approver (either internal or external) while I-9 Section 2 is open (draft, in progress, or overdue). This is useful in scenarios where the initial approver is not able to approve or is unavailable.

Two validations were added:

• When the approval activity is reopened, the link for active/in-progress I-9 Section 2 activity in the My Tasks page is disabled. Once the approval activity is completed, the link is again enabled.

• When the user tries to complete I-9 Section 2, the system checks the status of the approval activity:

  • If approval activity exists (in the workflow) and is complete, then I-9 Section 2 is marked as complete.

  • If the approval activity exists and is not complete, then the following error message displays: [The current activity cannot be completed as a preceding I-9 approval activity has been reopened. Please contact the hiring manager and have them close the earlier activity].
