Approve Time in Time Processing

Manage and finalize employee worked hours by reviewing and approving shifts in Time Processing. This process ensures all time entries are accurate and locked before payroll is processed.

Select Shifts for Approval

Before approving time, ensure all shift details are accurate.

1. Review Shifts
   Carefully check employee check-in and check-out times to ensure accuracy
2. Select Shifts
   Choose the shift(s) you want to approve
3. Approve Time
   Click Approve Time above the Time Processing grid, or use the wrench icon (top-right) → Approve Time if the button is not visible.

Note: Approving time locks the shifts, preventing further edits and ensuring the data is ready for payroll processing.
