Easily Put Your Stamp of Approval on Every Employee’s Timesheet With Timesheet Approval

When reviewing employee timesheets to run payroll for a specific pay period, you’ll want a way to indicate that the hours are approved. Make short work out of this arduous task, and designate managers with the permission to approve. Don’t worry about last-minute edits either. Approved timesheets are safely locked against editing, which means that once they’re approved, the times they aren’t a changin’. Sorry, Bob Dylan.

Easily Review and Approve Each Timesheet

It’s never the wrong time to get ready for payroll. Approvals give you visibility into each employee’s workweek, and let you verify that each employee’s hours are allocated to the correct job and task. Once all the hours look correct, click “Approve” to lock the specific timesheet. Ready, set, go for payroll!

Lock (and Load) Timesheets for Payroll

To protect against surprise, last-minute edits, approved timesheets are locked and can only be edited by administrators or managers with appropriate permissions. This allows you tighter control over timesheet entries as you get closer to payday. And don’t forget you always have an audit log that shows what happened and when. Our motto for timesheet approval is: here today, still here tomorrow.

Check for Labor and Policy Compliance

Are your employees required to clock out for lunch? Is there a company policy against working more than 8 hours on a day ending with “Y”? Scrutinize each employee’s timesheet for accuracy and policy compliance, and flag anything for later review. From the workday to payday, timesheet approvals help you make sure everything is recorded right.
