How to skip employees from approval workflow list for whom transaction is initiated

Summary

Employees for whom the transaction is initiated needs to be skipped in approval workflow if present

Content

Our requirement is that approval flow for Salary change should route to HRBP and Department VP. Department VPs are configured through Area of Responsibility and when Salary change is initiated, approval is routed to the same VP for whom the Salary change has been proposed.

Please let me know if there is a workaround solution for this.

Thanks,
