Approval Process
The approval process has five levels of approval to effectively manage employees' work hour tracking. Each level is tailored for specific approvers, ensuring a thorough and hierarchical review process. This enhances precision and accountability in tracking work hours.
Note: The approval process is turned off by default. Follow the instructions below to learn how to enable and manage it.
As the approval process progresses through the levels, each subsequent level represents a higher level of review and authorization. Approvers at higher levels can review and approve work marked at lower levels.
Recall and Editing
Users can recall their approval at any time if it has not been further approved by a higher-level approver. This allows for corrections or adjustments before final approval.
Overwriting and Locking
Once a higher-level approver approves the time entries, their approval overwrites the levels below. This action locks the time entries, preventing further editing by the employee. The final approval at the highest level ensures that the time entries are accurate and finalized.
Final Approval
The process culminates at Level 5, the highest level of approval. At this stage, the time entries are completely locked, and no further changes can be made. This final approval signifies the completion of the approval process.
Five Levels of Approval
The hierarchical structure of the approval levels, from Level 1 (Self-Approval) at the base to Level 5 (Administrator Approval) at the top. Each level provides an increasing degree of authority and responsibility, ensuring a thorough review process.
Five levels of approval for work hour tracking:
Level 5: Administrator Approval. Highest level.
Level 4: Team Owner Approval. Approves for team and all team projects.
Level 3: Project Owner Approval. Approves for their own projects.
Level 2: Project Manager Approval. Approves for projects they manage.
Level 1: Self-Approval. Users approve their own time entries.
