There’s one really big advantage to timesheet approvals. In other words, having managers check employee timesheets for correctness. That advantage is the value you get from another set of eyes. Mistakes are easy to make; everyone does it. But having a backup eliminates most of them. That’s what timesheet approvals are all about.

Here is the process:
- Employee fills in timesheet
- Or, if the employee forgets to fill in the timesheet by Monday, an email reminder is sent
- Employee re-checks the numbers, and clicks “Submit for Approval”
- An email is sent to the manager
- Managers view a list of everyone who have submitted their timesheets
- Managers view each employee timesheet
- Numbers are re-checked
- Managers approve or reject timesheets
- Employees optionally fix rejected timesheets
- Managers lock timesheets so no more changes can be made
- Employee receive an error when attempting to change a locked timesheet
