Time Approval

Notes:

• Time Approval is used by owners and managers to review and approve time punch records by employees. It should be done on a regular basis to ensure accuracy.
• Time punch records cannot be deleted due to liability and auditing. However, the records can be edited through the Hours field on the Time Approval page:
  • To “zero” out a punch, change the Hours field to 0. Save.
  • To change a punch, edit the Hours field. Save.
  • We recommend adding a note to any edit explaining the reason why it was made.
• Time Approval can be done by Employee, by Pay Period, or by Date Range.
• New Time Records can be added on this page for hours or specific timeclock punches.
• To approve hours, ensure all boxes in approve column are checked for approval and select Approve All.
• To view previously approved hours, select “Show Approved Records”, date range, pay period and/or employee, then Preview.
