Detailed answer

When a timesheet is manually edited, BetterDesks records that a manual time adjustment happened and who made the change. Review actions are tracked as well, including approval, rejection, reopening, missed clock-out closure, and conflict handling.

The timesheet record also tracks fields such as approved by, rejected by, reopened by, rejection reason, locked state, and manual edit flags for actual times and break minutes.

The edit record supports review and accountability without requiring payroll teams to rely on undocumented spreadsheet changes.

Example

A scheduler updates the clock-out time on an unapproved timesheet and saves the adjustment. BetterDesks recalculates the payable time and records the manual adjustment. The manager can then approve or reject the corrected record.

How BetterDesks helps

BetterDesks makes timesheet corrections traceable. Payroll teams can see that a record was reviewed and adjusted before payroll preparation instead of relying on undocumented spreadsheet changes.
