# Approval
### **How To Approve Employee Confirmations As A Manager In Pocket HRMS 2.0 Mobile App?**
**Path**: Login to mobile app of Pocket HRMS 2.0> click on 3 horizontal lines (hamburger menu) > Confirmation > Approval.
**Step 1:** Open the **Pocket HRMS mobile app**, then tap the **hamburger menu** (three horizontal lines) at the top left corner.
**Step 2:** Scroll down and tap **'Confirmation'**, then tap **'Approval'.**
**Step 3:** You will see a list of your team members pending confirmation. Each entry shows:
* **Employee name and code** - who needs your review
* **Joining date** - when they started
* **Confirmation end date** - when probation ends
* **Status** - shows "Pending"
Click on **'TAKE ACTION'** on an employee to review their confirmation.
**Step 4:** On the **Confirmation Review** screen, review the employee's:
* Name, employee code, date of joining
* Category, department, and confirmation date
**Step 5:** Make your decision by tapping one of three buttons:
* **APPROVE** (green) - confirm as permanent if employee performed well
* **EXTEND** (orange) - extend probation if you need more assessment time
* **REJECT** (red) - reject if employee doesn't meet expectations
* ⚠️ **Important**: Make sure you've discussed this with HR before rejecting
**Step 6:** Scroll down and add your **remarks** (optional but recommended):
* Write your feedback or evaluation notes
* You can write up to 500 characters
* 💡 **Tip**: Write constructive feedback — the employee may see these remarks
**Step 7:** Tap **'SUBMIT'** to send your decision to HR for final approval.
**What happens if the manager extends?**
* The probation period is extended (e.g., 1 month)
* After the extension expires, the confirmation request comes back to the manager for another review
* The manager will need to review again and make a final decision (APPROVE, EXTEND again, or REJECT)
* Each time the manager extends, a new review cycle begins
**After the manager submits:**
* If APPROVE or REJECT is selected, the decision goes to HR for final review (if HR approval is required)
* If EXTEND is selected, the confirmation request will reappear after the extension period ends
* The employee is not confirmed yet unless HR approves
* Check status by tapping the eye icon to see the Approval Journey
