Approve

Approvals & period lock.

Submit weeks for sign-off, route them to managers, and lock approved periods so numbers don’t change after payroll or invoicing.

Keep finance, HR, and managers aligned on what has been approved, by whom, and when.
Overview

Keep weeks clean before money moves.

Approvals turn raw time entries into a trusted record for payroll and billing.

Users submit their week when they are done. Approvers get a focused queue to review, request changes, or sign off. Once a period is locked, edits require explicit re-opening so your exported totals remain stable.

  • Submit weeks once all entries are in, with optional notes to managers.
  • Approve or reject with short comments so everyone understands changes.
  • Lock periods after approval to prevent accidental edits before payroll.
  • See a clear audit trail of who approved what, and when.
