Hi Evan,
How did you set up the task to employee 3?
I would suggest you create a User task for employee 2 which will be "first approver" with a reject and approve action
Depending on what happens to when you Reject you will map to your requirements and from there for the Approve action add another User task which will then be assigned to employee 3 who will to do final approval.
Please let me know if you further explanation.
Kind regards
Themba
Can we see what you've designed so far? I'm assuming you have two activities here, one for Employee 2 to approve it and that is connected to one for Employee 3 to complete it. Where is it going wrong when you try it out?
If you mean, regardless of Employee 1 decision, go to Employee 2, here it is.
