Reviewing the approval queue

The approval queue is where submitted timesheets become payroll-ready or get sent back for correction. Review exceptions before approving.

Before you start

• Confirm the schedule and attendance period you are reviewing.
• Know who is responsible for approving the records.
• Review missed clock-outs and unmatched attendance first.

Steps

1. Open Timesheets.
2. Filter for submitted or approval-ready records.
3. Search by employee, client, site, date, or status.
4. Open records that need review.
5. Check actual time, break adjustments, flags, and notes.
6. Approve clean records or reject records that need employee correction.

What good looks like

Clean records move toward payroll, while questionable records stay visible until they are corrected or rejected with context.

Common mistakes

• Approving all submitted records without reviewing flags.
• Using approval to fix data that should be corrected first.
• Forgetting to recheck rejected records after resubmission.
