Unauthorized Records Report

The Unauthorized Records Report in Timesheets shows a list of employees with unauthorized pay details. These can be records on the timesheet that haven’t been authorized by a manager, such as a worked, unscheduled shift. Alternatively, the report can show records that the employees haven’t authorized on their timesheet.
