Time Requests

What are Time Requests?

Time requests are a feature we developed to seamlessly integrate logging time off or overtime hours while allowing supervisors to either approve or deny these requests. This guide will introduce you to all the information you will need to use this feature effectively. You can read this page manually or watch the video guide at the bottom of the page.

Creating a Time Request

awaiting approval tab A time request is created when a worker logs hours into a timesheet code that requires supervisor approval; for this guide, we will log overtime hours that require overtime approval.

From your Timesheet

One of two ways to create a time request is to do it from your timesheet. To do this, log the hours into any code that requires approval. An example of what this might look like is shown on the right.

From the Time Requests popup

The second way to create a time request is from the Time Requests popup; here, you will find two dedicated time request generators: one for time off and the other for overtime. Using the generators is very simple; fill out the options shown below to match the day, hours, and code of your choice.

Awaiting Approval

After creating time requests, they will appear in the awaiting approval tab until they are reviewed and processed by a supervisor. This tab displays relevant information, including the Code, Request, and Status. You also have the option to edit or delete any of your time requests.

Managing Time Requests

Once a worker has created a time request, a supervisor can access the request via the pending approvals tab. You can access the Awaiting Approvals tab directly from the Time Request popup or by clicking View Pending Approvals in the supervising menu. Once in the pending approval tab, a supervisor can approve or deny each request. Approving a request requires no secondary documentation. However, when denying a time request, you must provide a reason for doing so. awaiting approval tab

Giving Notice

After acknowledging their updated time requests, you may view them in the history tab.
