Workflow features

Built for accountability, not bureaucracy

Every feature in the approval system is designed to make review faster for managers and corrections clearer for employees.

4-Stage flow

Every timesheet moves through Pending → Submitted → Under Review → Approved/Rejected. No shortcuts.

Entry flagging

Managers can flag individual time entries within a submission, not just the whole sheet, for precise review.

Rejection reasons

Every rejection requires a written reason, so employees know exactly what to fix before resubmitting.

Full audit trail

A complete, immutable history of every status change, flag, and rejection is preserved forever.

Grouped view

Managers see all pending timesheets for their direct reports in one grouped, sortable view.

Recall and resubmit

Employees can recall a submitted timesheet, make corrections, and resubmit, all while keeping the trail intact.

How it works

Four steps to a complete, auditable approval

Every timesheet moves through a structured workflow. No shortcuts, no lost submissions.

01

Employee submits timesheet

At week end, the employee reviews their weekly grid and hits Submit. Status moves from Pending to Submitted.

02

Manager reviews entries

The manager sees the submission in their approval queue, can drill into individual entries and flag issues.

03

Approve or reject with reason

Approved entries are locked. Rejected submissions include a mandatory written reason returned to the employee.

04

Full trail preserved

Every action (submission, flag, rejection, approval) is logged with timestamp and actor, never editable.

Timesheets that are always auditable.

No more lost submissions, no more unclear rejections. Give your team a workflow they can trust.
