Approving Time during a Clock In or Clock Out

Note: Time approval must be associated with a clock in or clock out by your system administrator.

To approve time during clock in or clock out:

  1. Access the HTML Clock on your supported device. For more information on how to do this, see Accessing the HTML Clock.
  2. Enter your badge number and select Clock In or Clock Out.
  3. If PIN authentication is enabled, enter your PIN and select Enter.
  4. If there are time approval records for you to approve, the records are displayed with the following information as an example:
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Badge Number
    • Start Date
    • End Date
    • Hours Worked
    Note: If the Time Approval feature is disabled or there are no time approval records to display, you are returned to the main badge entry screen.
  5. Select one of these options:
    • Approve: 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.

    • Skip: 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: Skip all time approval records that are presented.
  6. Once all time approval records have been displayed you will be presented with a confirmation screen. Click OK to return to the main badge entry screen.
