How to Approve Timesheets


This article provides guidance on the process of confirming timesheets and on how to notify crew members when adjustments or corrections are necessary.


Introduction

The timesheet approval process empowers managers (approvers) to conduct a thorough examination of the submitted timesheets. Through the application, managers have access to a comprehensive summary of hours worked, breaks taken, and tasks completed, allowing for well-informed decisions during the approval process. In cases of discrepancies or errors, managers (approvers) can easily engage with employees by leveraging the system's functionalities, including options like "Approve for Signing," "Reject," and "Details."

The Manager/Team Leader, in the role of the approver, holds the responsibility of conducting a meticulous examination and validation of all essential information within the timesheets. This scrutiny encompasses factors such as overtime or potential violations. Only after thorough review and approval by the Manager/Team Leader does the timesheet progress to the Adonis Personnel Manager (APM) with an "Approved" status. At this stage, the APM can advance to subsequent processing steps, including the preparation of timesheets for payroll processing, ensuring that employees receive their payments punctually and with precision.

The Approver plays a vital role in ensuring the seamless integration of approved timesheets into the payroll system, thus facilitating a smooth and efficient payout process.

Workaround/Example

All submitted timesheet documents are located under Documents Workflow > Co-Workers Timesheets > Waiting for approval.

 

You can review timesheet details by clicking Details.

Should you identify any inaccuracies, omissions, or the need for modifications in the document, you have the option to either make the necessary edits yourself or choose to reject it.

In the event of document rejection, it is sent back to its owner (subordinator) for necessary corrections. During the rejection process, you have the option to provide comments to your team member, explaining the reasons for rejection and outlining the required adjustments. Once the corrections have been made, your crew member must resubmit the document for approval.

If the document appears to be in order, you can grant approval by simply clicking on "Approve" and, if necessary, add comments for further clarification or context.
