Is the appointment waiting for Payroll to process it?

Yes

The appointment will need to be pushed back to the Originator so the appointment can be revised. The appointment will then be re-submitted for approval and go through the approval workflow.

Currently Payroll is still developing the business process for notifying them that an appointment in their queue needs to be pushed back. It is likely that the Reviewer (College Analyst) will be the one to contact Payroll, so consult with your college for assistance.

2.1. The Originator will get an email when an appointment is pushed back to them.

Note the employee ID and reason for the push back are included in the email.
