How to Approve Timesheets
Approving timesheets locks them for payroll. Here's how to approve individually, in bulk, and manage approval locks.
Individual Approval
-
Click the tick (checkmark) on any day row to approve that specific day's timesheet.
-
Once approved, entries become read-only.
Bulk Approval
-
Click the Select All approve button at the top to approve all visible days at once.
-
Days that are period-locked cannot be changed.

Unapproving a Timesheet
-
Once a timesheet row is approved, it becomes read-only. To make changes, an admin must first unapprove the day.
Automated Timesheet Locking
-
If your company has Automated Timesheet Locking enabled (under Settings > Time Settings), timesheets are automatically locked at the end of each pay period.
-
The lock timing is based on how many days after the period ends and the time of day configured by your admin.
-
Each employee's lock is calculated according to their own pay period, so employees on different cycles lock at the right time.
-
Once locked, time entries, shifts, and approvals for that period become read-only.
-
Company Admins are exempt and can still edit locked periods.
Tip: Approve timesheets promptly — automated locking will seal them after the configured grace period.
