Salary deduction with approvals for monthly hours shortfall

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

Hi All,

Our client has a requirement where based on the attendance records of the employee any shortfalls beyond 8 hours in a month goes for salary deduction.

Before the salary is deducted, there are multiple levels of approval that is required to confirm for payroll to go ahead with the deduction.

Calculating the shortfalls can be done using a report and approvers can be notified, but how can the approvals be triggered and go to multiple levels, which can then lead to an automatic salary deduction of the hours of shortfall?
