OfficeClip timesheet module allows your employees to create, submit, review, and approve timesheets easily. For approving and validating timesheets the Administrator sets up a workflow where timesheet of every user is routed to an approver. An approver is a person who reviews the timesheets and can choose to approve or reject them.

  • The Administrator sets up an approver for every user in the system.
  • This approval process provides the managers with the visibility of work hours for a project, and they can verify the utilization of time and resources.
  • Once approved, the time and expenses for the period are usually locked and can only be edited by administrators.

  • Workflow can be set for a user with a single person routing or timesheets can be routed to upto two to three levels depending on the projects.
  • With workflow set up, the submitted timesheet will automatically be routed to the approver.
