Frequently Asked Questions about Timecard Approvals

 

  • Why is my employee still showing up in my list of Employees with Unapproved Timecards, even though she says has already approved her timecard?

    Employee timecard approvals are cleared each time the timecard is changed. If your employee's timecard is currently in an unapproved state, someone has edited her timecard.

  • Why can't I click the Approve check box in the Timecard Manager to approve the new time pair I am creating for my employee?

    You can only approve a time pair after it has been successfully processed. After you have submitted the new time pair and it has been processed without errors, the Approve check box will be available.

  • The last entry in my employee's timecard approval history indicates that his timecard was approved, but the timecard is not currently in an approved state. Why?

    The Timecard Approval History only lists an employee's explicit approval and unapproval actions. Even though the last approval action by the employee was to approve the timecard, the employee or a supervisor or administrator may have edited the timecard since the time of that action, thus clearing any existing approvals.

  • One of my employees forgot to approve his timecard before leaving for vacation. Can I do it for him so that he will get paid?

    Only the employee can submit his employee approval. However, the employee may still get paid. A missing employee approval does not automatically prevent end-of-period operations from being run in ezLaborManager. Check with your Payroll Administrator to see how the situation will be handled and what, if any, steps you and/or your employee need to take.

  • My employee was ill and was unable to log in to ezLaborManager

    A missing employee approval does not automatically prevent an employee from being paid. Check with your Payroll Administrator to see how the situation will be handled and what, if any, steps you and/or your employee need to take.

  • Why can't one of my employees edit a timecard entry?

    There are two possible reasons why an employee cannot edit a timecard entry:

    • Your company may be set up so that once a supervisor (or loan supervisor) has approved an entry on an employee's timecard, the entry is locked and the employee will not be able to make any further changes to it. If your company is configured this way, employees can only edit entries on their time sheets that have not yet been approved by their supervisor (or loan supervisor).

    • Only entries that are in the current or next pay period can be edited on a timecard.
