Instruction video: HR Timesheet Approval
Employees log timesheet
First, employees need to log timesheet on the system based on the real working time.
Create an Approval request
To create a Timesheet approval request, navigate to the Approval app, on the Overview, find the Timesheet Approval and press Create Request.
On the approval request, all the employees' and approvers' timesheets will be displayed. The employees add all the necessary information then press Submit. The approval request status will then be changed to To Approve.
Approve the timesheet approval request
Managers navigate to the Approval app to find the awaiting to-be-approved requests.
The manager now can approve or reject the request depending on the configured approval levels on the Timesheet approval type.
View the approval status
Both employees and managers can follow the approval status right on the approval request or navigate to the Timesheet app to view the Timesheet State.
Tips: You can use this process to manage the salary payment: configure suitable Salary rules for the salary computation.
