When you log in to the [Payroll Dashboard](https://payroll.razorpay.com/dashboard) as an approver, you can access your pending requests in three ways:

1. On the Payroll Dashboard Home Page under:
   * **Quick Reminders**.
   * **ADMIN OPTIONS** → **Approvals** in the left menu.
2. Respective action pages. That is, if you have approvals pending for **Edit Payroll** action, requests needing approvals are indicated on the **Edit Payroll** page.

## Dashboard Actions

All your pending requests are available on the **Approvals** page. On this Dashboard, you can:

* Sort requests basis the dates you received them.
* Bulk select and approve/reject requests using the check box.
* Open the summary view to check the request and approval history.
* Provide remarks when approving/rejecting a request.
* Withdraw a request you have initiated.
* Check the following:
  * **Pending Approvals**: Approvals that require your review.
  * **Initiated by Me**: Approval requests initiated by you if you are the maker of that request.
  * **Completed**: Approval requests you have already taken action on.
