Time Entry Approvals

Review, approve, or reject submitted time entries as a manager.

Managers review submitted time entries from the approvals queue at /hr/time/approvals.

Approval Queue

Navigate to HR > Time Tracking > Approvals to see all entries in SUBMITTED status. The page summary shows:

  • Pending entries -- count of entries waiting for review.
  • Total hours -- sum of hours across all pending entries.

Each row in the table shows the employee, date, hours, project/task link, description, and a billable indicator.

Approving Entries

There are two ways to approve:

ActionHow
Per-rowClick the green check icon on a single row.
BulkSelect rows via the checkbox column, then click Approve Selected (N) in the page header.

Approved entries move to APPROVED status and become visible in Time Reports. Approved entries are no longer editable by the employee.

Rejecting Entries

Rejection is per-row only -- there is no bulk reject.

  1. Click the red reject icon on the row.
  2. A modal asks for a rejection reason (required).
  3. Submit the modal.

The entry returns to DRAFT status. The employee sees the rejection reason on the entry's read-only view modal until they revise and resubmit.

Refreshing the Queue

Click Refresh in the header to reload the queue without leaving the page. This is useful when reviewing a long list of submissions in real time.
