Authorize Timesheets

When the worked shifts on the timesheet accurately represent when your employees worked, and the pay details are correct, you can authorize the shifts to indicate that you reviewed the records and that they’re accurate. You can also unauthorize shifts.

To authorize timesheets in Timesheets, select the shift or shifts that you want to authorize and then click Authorize in the toolstrip. After you click Authorize, the Manager Authorization icon () appears on the authorized shifts. To unauthorize a shift, click Unauthorize.
