Who this guide is for
Business Owners, Sole Traders, Admin, and Supervisors. Finance can review timesheets where configured but does not approve.
Overview
Confirm that the hours an employee has submitted are correct and signal that the time is ready for payroll. There is no dedicated Reject action — use Unapprove to send a week back for correction.
Before you start
The employee must have submitted the week. Have any expected rosters or shift records on hand to compare against.
Steps
- In the left sidebar, select Timesheets.
- Use the viewing dropdown to switch to the employee whose timesheet you are reviewing.
- Review the submitted day or week — daily hours, job allocations, travel time, and any notes.
- If correct, select Approve.
- If you need to send the week back, select Unapprove and ask the employee to correct and resubmit through your usual communication channel.
What happens next
Approved timesheets are ready for payroll — see Export payroll. The Needs Your Attention panel on the dashboard surfaces submitted timesheets that need review.
