Payroll

Approving employee timesheets

Review the week, catch errors, approve or reject corrections, lock the pay period.


The weekly approval flow

  1. End of pay period: navigate to Team → Pending approvals
  2. You'll see every unapproved shift, grouped by employee
  3. Review each row — flag anything that looks off
  4. Approve in bulk (per employee or whole week) or reject individually

What to look for

  • Outlier durations. Was there a 14-hour shift that should have been split?
  • Geo-fence flags. Did someone punch from outside the worksite?
  • Missing punches. Did someone forget to clock out and have it auto-corrected?
  • Project tags. Are shifts assigned to the right job for cost tracking?

Rejecting a shift

If a shift is wrong, click Reject and add a note (the employee will see it). They can then submit a correction with the right times.

After approval

Approved shifts are locked — they can't be edited by the employee (or anyone except a manager) afterward. This makes the export deterministic and protects you in an audit.

Correction requests

If an employee disputes an approved shift after the fact, they can submit a correction request. You see it in your inbox, review it, approve or reject. The audit log captures both the original and the corrected values.
