Approve, decline, and edit my employee’s timesheets as a manager

Within your organisation, you may have employees who submit timesheets to record hours worked and any breaks. Primary and secondary managers can approve, decline and edit timesheets submitted by their direct reports.

How it works

Managers can access and approve or decline submitted timesheets via the Timesheets menu. Managers can also edit and amend submitted timesheets prior to approval.

Further information

Approve a timesheet for a terminated employee
Timesheets for a terminated employee cannot be approved directly. To approve their timesheets, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. Reactivate the employee in the HR platform.
  2. Approve their timesheets once they are active again.
  3. Terminate the employee after the timesheets have been approved.
How do I know whether my timesheets have synced to payroll?
Once a timesheet is approved, it will sync to the payroll platform. This is indicated by a green clock, which you can hover over to view sync details.

What do I do if my timesheets have not synced to payroll?
If your timesheets have not synced to payroll, check the following:
  • Your Payroll integrations issues dashboard for further information.
  • Your HR and Payroll platforms are successfully integrated.
  • The employee is configured to sync to payroll in their employee file under Pay Details > Pay Run Details.
