Before you start

  • Access is permissions-based. If you can’t see Time & Attendance or the action menu, ask a Company Admin.

Steps

  1. Open Time & Attendance
    Click Time & Attendance from the main navigation.

2. Filter the list (optional)
Use Dates, Only show relief workers, and Location to narrow results.

  • Toggle Sub Total on/off with the checkbox if needed.

3. Find the employee
Use Search term to find the employee by name, then click their name to open the timesheet.

4. Approve hours

  • In the timesheet, click the three dots in the Actions column.

  • Select Approve Hours.

  • If your company has a default Payroll Status, it will apply automatically on approval.

5. Assign a payroll status (manually, if needed)

  • Click the three dots in the Actions column.

  • Select Assign Payroll Status.

  • Choose the status from the dropdown.

  • Click Save (green).

Tips

  • Use filters first to reduce the list before searching by name.

  • If you frequently use the same payroll status, ask an admin to set a default Payroll Status to speed up approvals.

Troubleshooting

  • Status list is empty: Payroll statuses may not be configured; contact your Company Admin.

  • Save is disabled: Select a payroll status before saving.
