How to: Approve Hours

When a timecard is entered by an employee, at least one member of Production will have to approve it before timecard grossing can be completed.  Note: When timecard hours are submitted on behalf of employees, the employee will be required to review and approve or reject the timecard hours before timecard hours will be finalized by a member of Production. 


Step 1: Under Payroll on the left, click TIMECARDS.


 

Step 2: Click REVIEW in the Approval column or on the timecard number of the timecard you would like to approve.


 

Step 3: Click APPROVE if the timecard is correct or REJECT to send it back to the previous approver to make necessary changes.  Once a timecard has been signed, it becomes read-only.  If you would like the employee to make changes to the hours, it will have to be rejected back to him/her.  If you do not wish to reject the timecard, the hours can also be overridden during grossing.  NOTE: The coding columns cannot be edited when the timecard has become read-only.  These can be entered if the timecard is prefilled for the employee or in grossing.


 

NOTE: If the timecard is rejected, a window will open. You will have to enter a reason for rejecting which can be viewed by the employee.
