Configure Timecard Approval Settings Follow
uAttend's simple, yet effective timecard approval feature, which can be configured at the Employee, Supervisor, and Administrator level, can help significantly reduce costly reconciliation checks. A simple digital timestamp added to the timecard will show you that your staff has signed off on the totals prior to submitting payroll.
Notes:
- If you've made any changes, click the Recalculate button at the bottom right of a timecard.
- Edits to timecards cannot be made once the card is locked. An Administrator can "unapprove" a timecard if edits need to be made after the fact, the employee will need to approve their timecard again after the edits have been made.
- Disabling the feature will automatically unlock all cards for all pay periods.
- Employees can approve their timecards through automated emails or by logging into the web portal or smartphone app with a username and password and viewing their timecard. At least one of these options will need to be enabled before the employee will be able to approve their timecard.
