Organizations on our Premium and Enterprise plans can enable Timesheet Approvals for their team. Timesheets are grouped time entries for a specific period that must be submitted for approval. Once approved, they are locked from further editing.
This feature is only available on the Premium or Enterprise plan.
To enable and manage Timesheet Approval Settings, head to Approvals > Click the Settings cog in the top-right corner or go here.
Here you can:
Enable timesheet approvals for members
View a list of existing timesheet approvals
Filter existing settings by Approver and Member
Sort the list by Member and Approver
Review the period set for these approvals
See the reminder set for the user
Use the 3-dot control to Change the setting (you can adjust the Approver and the Reminder here) or delete the approval.
To delete a timesheet approval setup, all timesheets under it need to be unsubmitted first.
Enabling Timesheet Approvals
Click the "Setup Timesheets for Members" button in the top-right corner.
This will open a popup where you can set up timesheets for team members.
You can:
Choose Member(s) (active or invited) you want to enable timesheet approvals for
Choose the desired Workspace Admins who will be approving these Timesheets OR the desired Group of users who will be making the approvals.
You are also able to create Self Approving timesheets with the same Approver.You are able to assign Non-Admin users as an Approver.
Choose the period (currently, we only support Weekly)
Choose the first date that you want to approve timesheets from.
Set up reminders for your team members by picking a day and time (based on their profile timezone) for the reminder.
Please note, reminders will be sent during the specified days of the following week if they are for the first three days in the period
Once you're happy with your settings, click "Set up Timesheet(s)."
Can I setup work hours for my team members?
In order to make the most of Approvals, setup Work Hours for each user on the Organization > Members tab (after filtering for the chosen workspace).
Users who have work hours set up, can see the % percentage of weekly time tracked, against those work hours, on their Timer Page.
