Approving time manually

If the clock is configured such that time approval must be accessed manually or if you want to manually access the feature to approve your time, complete these steps:

  1. Select More (F8) > Approve Time (F2)

    This configuration may differ if your clock menu and/or toolbar is configured differently.

  2. Identify yourself by swiping your badge, or scanning your proximity badge.
    Note: You may not have to enter a badge number if your administrator has enabled Identificationmode for biometric validation. If this is the case, only a fingerprint is required for authentication. For more information, contact your system administrator.
  3. Provide PIN or Biometric authentication, if prompted.
  4. If there are time approval records for you to approve, the records are displayed with the following information as an example:
    • Start Date: Monday January 1, 2018
    • End Date: Monday January 1, 2018
    • Hours Worked: 8 HRS 30 MINS

    The format of the data displayed will differ based on how the clock is configured. In addition, the date range of the start and end date may display differently if your company has configured the system to approve time for the entire week rather than a single day.

  5. Select one of these options:
    • Approve (F5): Approve the time reflected and have the time recorded on the timesheet. If additional records exist then the next record will display, otherwise the Time Approval Complete message will display.
    • Reject (F6): Reject the time reflected and work hours will be recorded as such on the timesheet. Your supervisor should follow-up with you regarding any rejected records. If additional records exist then the next record will display, otherwise the Time Approval Complete message will display.
    • Skip (F7): Defer your decision about the time record presented. If additional records exist then the next record will display, otherwise the Time Approval Complete message will display. Skipped records will continue to be displayed to the employee every time the time approval process is initiated until the record is approved or rejected.
    • Skip All (F8): Skip all time approval records that are presented.

    You can also press the clear button on the clock to return to the badge entry screen.

    Once all time approval records have been displayed you will be returned to the badge entry screen.
