# July 2023 - Payroll Release Note

## New Features on SeamlessPayroll for July, 2023.

### **Approval Steps for External Approvers on SeamlessPayroll**

**Step 1**

An approval request is initiated on SeamlessPayroll, the external party gets an email with an action button to view the approval page on the System.

**Step 2**

The link lands the external approver on the request page, to approve/decline requests(s) accordingly.

Upon approving/declining the request, the approver can input a comment in the comment box, then click on the "submit" button to complete the process.
