This guide builds on manual time recording and focuses on the reviewer. It does not describe GPS attendance or automatic payroll posting. First check that the module is enabled in your workspace.
1. Check the person and period
Open the timesheet submitted for review. Check the workspace, person and month. Compare the summary with individual entries rather than relying only on the total hours.
Review missing clock-outs, pending corrections and unusual values. In the source, approval depends on the appropriate state and permission. The presence of a button does not establish permission to approve your own timesheet.
2. Make a decision with a specific explanation
Approve a correct timesheet only after review. If rejecting it, give a specific reason, such as a missing value on a particular day. The reviewed workflow requires a rejection reason and blocks self-approval.
For a synthetic example, Wednesday has no shift end. Returning it with that explanation is more useful than saying incorrect. The reviewer should not invent a time merely to close the period.
3. Handle a correction separately
After correction, check the affected timesheet and its state again. For an already approved period, use the available correction process rather than silently editing an old local report.
Before handing a report into the next process, confirm you are using the current version. Timesheet approval is a workflow outcome, not proof that the entire payroll is correct or every employment obligation is satisfied.
FAQ
Can I approve my own timesheet?
The reviewed workflow blocks self-approval; another authorised person must handle it.
Does rejection automatically fix an incorrect entry?
No. The reason guides a correction that still needs verification.
