Reviewing timesheets (managers)

Filter, review and approve the week's time entries.

For managers & adminsUpdated 31 August 2026

Open Timesheets. The page shows a week of time entries with:

The Timesheets review page — filters, layouts and the colour legend
  • All / Pending / Approved / Flagged status filters and week navigation.
  • GRID / LIST layouts, Group by employee, plus Locations / Positions / Groups / Statuses filters, an Auto clock-out only filter and Hide empty rows.
  • A colour legend — approved, pending, overtime/flagged, no entry.
  • Deployment Standby clock-ins arrive flagged for review so bench hours never slip through unnoticed.

If a period has no entries you'll see "No entries for this period".

The weekly routine

  1. Filter to Flagged first. That is where the exceptions are — overtime, standby, auto clock-outs, geofence failures.
  2. Then Pending, and approve what is clean.
  3. Use Auto clock-out only to find shifts where someone forgot to clock out and the safety net fired. Those need a real end time, not an approval.
  4. Approve before running payroll reports — Payroll and Attendance are built from approved entries.

Practices

  • Approve weekly, not monthly. Memory of what actually happened has a short half-life.
  • Fix the timesheet, not the shift. The shift is the plan; the timesheet is the record of what happened.
  • If a person is repeatedly auto-clocked-out, the problem is a habit or a badly placed kiosk, not the data.
