Time Sheet Approvals Notification
To approve hours, tap on the inbox.

Tap Approve All Hours to complete the approval.
To approve an individual employee's hours:
- Tap People to open the directory and search for the employee whose timecard you want to approve.
- Tap on the Timesheet tab.
- Review the entries, and then tap Approve All Hours.
If an employee is currently clocked in when you approve hours, the total time will appear in orange with a running timer next to it. Once you tap Approve All Hours, you will see the option to update the clock-out time for the employee (see below).
Adjust the employee's clock-out time and tap Clock Out & Approve to continue with approving hours. If multiple employees are clocked in, you must set a clock-out time for each employee on their Timesheet tab in the mobile app.
