Employee Change Forms

Employee Changes,
Routed Right

An employee moves. Gets promoted. Changes departments. Each update needs different approvals. Thicket routes the right form to the right people, every time.

What Happens Without a System

Employee emails HR about an address change. HR forwards to payroll. Payroll updates one system but misses another.

Manager verbally approves a schedule change. No record exists. Three months later, nobody remembers the details.

A salary adjustment request sits in someone's inbox for two weeks. The employee assumes it was denied.

Department transfer happens, but IT was never notified. The employee can't access their new team's files on day one.

How Change Requests Work in Thicket

1

Employee selects the change type

They pick from a dropdown: address change, schedule change, department transfer, salary adjustment, or whatever types you've configured. The form adapts instantly. An address change shows address fields. A transfer shows department and role fields.

2

Conditional fields collect the right details

No one sees fields that don't apply to them. A salary adjustment asks for justification and proposed amount. An address change asks for the new address and effective date. Each change type collects exactly what the approver will need.

3

Submission routes to the right approver(s)

An address change goes straight to HR. A salary adjustment goes to the department head, then finance, then HR. Each change type has its own approval chain. The submitter can track status in real time.

Different Changes, Different Routes

Every change type gets its own fields and its own approval chain.

One Form. Many Shapes.

Instead of creating a separate form for every change type, build one form with conditional logic. The "Change Type" dropdown controls which fields appear.

Employees see a clean, short form with only the fields they need. Approvers get exactly the information required to make a decision.

No confusion about which form to use

No missing information on submissions

No manual routing or forwarding

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of employee changes can I track?

Any change you want. Address updates, name changes, department transfers, title changes, salary adjustments, schedule modifications, benefits changes, emergency contact updates. Build the form to match your process.

Can different change types route to different approvers?

Yes. That's the whole point. An address change might only need HR. A salary adjustment needs the department head and finance. A department transfer needs both the old and new manager. You set the rules once.

Is there an audit trail?

Every submission is logged with timestamps, who submitted it, who approved it, and what changed. You can pull up the history anytime.
