Approvers - Reviewing & Approving Time

If the time sheet or leave report is not approved by the deadline, the hourly employee may not get paid or the salaried employee may not have their exception time recorded.

The Approver must approve time by the 11:59pm approval deadlines. Approval deadlines are Tuesday after the pay period ends for time sheets and three (3) business days after the pay period ends for leave reports. See Approver Actions by Status for more information.
