Approving Timesheets

Supervisors & Proxies

Supervisors (or proxies) are required to approve timesheets EACH pay period. Each individual timesheet must be reviewed to ensure employees have entered the correct number of hours and the correct earnings and leave codes. A supervisor (approver) or a proxy can see an employee's timesheet, reported hours, and leave balances only. Neither the approver nor the proxy can see any other information about the employee.

When a supervisor or proxy approves a web timesheet, the supervisor/proxy is certifying that all information contained is correct and that the employee worked the hours shown on the web timesheet.
