Approving Timesheets

This section is relevant to agency staff members who are responsible for approving timesheets. This section explains the timesheet approval process and how you can approve or reject timesheets that are submitted for your approval.

If you are responsible for approving timesheets, timesheets requiring your approval can be accessed via the Submitted Timesheets screen. You may also be sent an automatic approval notification whenever a new timesheet is submitted for your approval.
To carry out the approval process you need to open the submitted timesheet and check the timesheet entries. If the timesheet has been keyed in correctly you can approve the timesheet. Otherwise, you can reject the timesheet so that the submitter can correct the timesheet and resubmit it for approval.

Note: If the initiator is also the approver, to save time the timesheet can be submitted and approved via the Submit & Approve action in the Available Timesheet page. Where this has occurred and there is only one approver for the timesheet, the timesheet will not display in the Submitted Timesheets screen. Click here to see notes in Submitting a Timesheet for Approval for more details on this action.
