From the Time Period
field, select the period for which you want to approve your time card.
After transactions are saved for the entire pay period, click Approve. The Approve Time
Card popup window displays, warning that you cannot enter new transactions
after you have approved the time card.
The Approve
button does not display if the pay period has been signed off by your
manager. You cannot approve a time card for a selected date range unless
the boundaries of the date range represent a pay period.
If your organization requires that you attest to the accuracy of
your time card, an attestation statement displays. Select the check
box next to I Agree to the above
statement. If you try to approve your time card without
agreeing tot he attestation statement, a message will ask if you want
to continue.
Click OK to approve
your time card. After you approve
your time card, the approval date and time are noted in the status
area at the lower left of the Time Entry page.
Approving a pay period also approves all previous
unapproved pay periods. Reversing approval for a pay period does the same
for the approved pay periods that follow it.
If TimeSaver is set up for this feature, you may be able to approve
or decline your time card at any time, even after manager signoff and pay period closure. If this feature is
activated, you can do the following:
Notice the Approval Alert:
Your time card for pay period < > is ready for approval
banner when you log in to Time Entry.
In the banner, click the link that contains the begin and end
date of the affected pay period.
Review the changes, make any edits you wish to make, and approve
or decline the time card.
The Time Card Action Required
dialog displays when the time period for an approval has expired.
This feature restricts your Time Entry activities to the affected
tabs and pay period until you approve or decline the time card.
Do the following:
Click Go to Approval
to approve or decline the time card. If you decline, confirm
the decline and enter comments, if required. (If you are set
up for email notifications, the
manager is notified of the decline and you receive a message
when the manager acknowledges the decline.)
Click Done.
After reviewing a declined
time card a manager will acknowledge it to indicate that a resolution
is reached. If there is further disagreement on the resolution of the
declined time card, you should communicate directly with your manager
and follow any of your organization's applicable processes to reach a
resolution.
