With the timesheet approval feature, you can approve or reject any recorded time before it’s included in payroll calculations.  Business owners can use this feature to review and verify timesheets before processing employee payrolls based on working hours and hourly rates.

If the timesheet approval setting is enabled for a user, their timesheets must be approved before payroll processing.  Only approved timesheets will be included in payroll, while non-approved or rejected entries will be excluded.

👉 You can Approve/Reject timesheets from Timesheets>Approval.

By default, the timesheets for the current week are displayed.  However, you can select the desired date range of your choice from the top.

💡
In-Progress Days Are Protected: Only completed days can be approved. Time that is still being tracked today is clearly marked as in progress and remains unavailable for approval until the day is complete.

👉 Click on the person, and the click on the timesheet that contains the time entries you want to review.

If you want to reject a portion of the time, click on "Reject only part of it".

You can also view the idle time from the Approval section. You can reject this specific amount if you want to not include idle time in the payable amount. Signals will show the different time

👉 You can also approve everyone, by clicking on the checkbox, on left of Member. You can uncheck someone, if you don't want to approve for that person.
