Review the hours. Approve the submission.
Follow a Manager from a submitted Company timesheet to its supporting time record, approval confirmation and saved Approved status.
Steps you can read
- Check the submitted version
With permission to review timesheets in the correct Company, open the worker's submitted timesheet. Check the person, period and submission version.
- Review the hours
Check the worked total, included entries and work categories. This example is Leo's Submission 1, with one worked hour in Operations.
- Open the supporting record
Select View time record. Check the saved Start, End, worked time, break evidence and source time zone, then return to the same submitted timesheet.
- Review the decision
If the time is correct, select Approve timesheet in Decision, then choose Review decision. If the time is wrong, do not approve it.
- Confirm only after reading
Read the confirmation identifying the submission and explaining that approval locks that snapshot's time. Choose Approve timesheet only when you intend to approve that version.
- Check Approved
Check the Timesheet approved message and the exact submission's Approved status. This approves the submitted time; it does not run payroll, approve an invoice or send payment.

Approval locks this submission.
It does not run payroll,
create or approve an invoice, or send payment.
Review the submitted version
Open Attention or the Timesheet submission detail. Review the date range, total, Time Entries, notes, warnings, and any available history before deciding.
Choose the right decision
Approve Timesheet accepts the submitted version as the Company’s approved time evidence.
Request changes tells the Contractor what to correct and allows a revised submission. Use this for the ordinary “please fix this” path.
Reject Timesheet records that the submission is not accepted as submitted. The Contractor cannot resubmit it unless an authorized person reopens it.
Record a useful reason
Changes requested and rejection require a reason. Describe the specific issue the Contractor can act on without adding unrelated private information.
Reopen an approved or rejected Timesheet
An authorized person can reopen an approved or rejected Timesheet with a reason. Reopening preserves the earlier decision and allows a new version; it does not erase history.
After approval
Approving a Timesheet records approved time. It does not confirm amounts owed or send payment.
If Review what you owe is available in Money, open it and choose Review amounts for the completed date range. Otherwise, the person authorized to review Company amounts handles that step. See How to review what you owe in Related Help.
