Approve a Timesheet (Android)
Background
Field workers can submit their own timecards or foremen can submit time for their crews. All timecards are added to a timesheet. A foreman or superintendent typically reviews the timesheet for accuracy, changing the status to 'Reviewed'.
Next, a responsible party 'approves' the entries for payroll. This check ensures hours are accurate, overtime is applied correctly, and costs are logged to the right code, before they are marked as 'complete' in the Company's Timesheets tool.
Things to Consider
-
'Approved' timecard entries:
-
Cannot be deleted.
-
Can only be marked as 'Completed' in the Company level Timesheets tool.
-
-
'Completed' timecard entries:
-
Cannot be edited at the project level. See Edit a Time Entry in the Company Level Timesheets Tool.
-
-
The 'Individual Entries' section shows time logged via Company Timecard, Daily Log, or My Time. You can approve these entries in the Timesheets tool at the company or project level.
