Lifecycle

PENDING → APPROVED → APPLIED · idempotent re-runs

ADMIN / PAYROLL roles auto-approve on create; APPROVERs leave it PENDING for review. Re-running a payroll cycle automatically resets APPLIED rows back to APPROVED, recomputes, and re-applies — no data drift, no double-deductions.

  • Approve / reject — handles all installments of a group at once
  • Cancel works pre-APPLIED
  • Audit log records every state change
  • Employee gets PAYROLL notification on every transition
