There are two steps to approving a timesheet once the timesheets period has expired:
  1. The employee must approve the timesheet.
  2. A timesheet administrator then approves the timesheet. The time administrator has the option of a force approval which bypasses the employee approval stage.
The timesheet period is fully customizable, however any changes to the period results in a new timesheet being created. The settings are available at Settings→Timesheet.

The supported timesheet cycle type's are:
  • Weekly (uses the day of the week from the cycle start date)
  • Bimonthly (uses the day comonent of the cycle start date and repeats every 2 weeks)
  • Monthly (uses the day comonent of the cycle start date)
  • Semimonthy (15th and last day of month)
A flag is added new to all timesheet records where an employee either:
  • Clocked in early
  • Clocked in late
  • Clocked out early
  • Clocked out late
The time threshhold for these warning flags are configurable at Settings→Timesheet.
