Approved Hours Report

Is there a report that shows imported hours and BambooHR Time Tracking hours?

Purpose: To help you understand the Approved Hours report and utilize the report for hours worked and imported using the hours importer and hours added through BambooHR Time Tracking (add-on feature).


Approved Hours

  1. Select a date range to view hours.
  2. Select All Employees to filter the list of employees by the standard filters.  
  3. Filter the report to show hours imported using the hours importer or hours entered using BambooHR Time Tracking or both.

If you export this report, the Employee # will be included in the export.

Hours importer

This report shows all hours imported for the specified time frame using the hours importer. This report will only appear in your account if you have imported hours. Based on the accruals set up in the specific time off policy, you can see in the screenshot below that Charlotte was given accruals based on the imported hours she had worked.

If you share this report, the user can view hours imported for all employees instead of just the employees they have access to view.

BambooHR Time Tracking

If you use BambooHR Time Tracking, you can see the approved hours worked in this report. Change the Showing filter from All to BambooHR Time Tracking Hours. However, we recommend using the Payroll Hours report when viewing Time Tracking information as it will be most helpful for you as you review hours for approval.

Remember, the Reg Rate column only applies to hours added via import or API, it will always remain empty if you're viewing BambooHR Time Tracking hours (notice the highlighted dropdown above).
