Employee-submitted timesheets can either go to one or more approvers, requiring either or all of them to approve the timesheet. You may also set multiple levels of approval. For example, after the supervisor approves the timesheet, it can be set to be approved by the payroll manager or owner of the business.
This approval method can be set up to allow single and multiple levels of approval from people who don’t necessarily follow the standard supervisor hierarchy, but need to approve the timesheet.
Under the Administration section in the navigation bar, select Timesheet settings. Then choose the Approval Paths tab.
- From the Approval Method dropdown, choose One or more approvers.
- A row for the box will appear below the approval method.
- In the Search/Type box, choose the approver/first set of approvers.
- If there is more than one approver for that level, in the box beside it, choose between All must approve or Either can approve.
- Should there be another level of approver, you can select the Add another approver step link below the approver box. Then choose the next set of approver(s) and specify the condition and who should approve the timesheet.
