Work time approval is accessible via Time → Work time approval, if required permissions are granted. Permissions are either granted via team settings ↗ or made available as an account wide permission ↗.

In opposite to project time tracking, as users working time must first be actively submitted by the employee before it can be approved. Work time is always made up of the start and end time of the working day and the tracked breaks. Compliance with break times is mandatory in some countries.

The work time approval UI can be customized in work time approval options ↗.

Project days can either be approved individually or bulk approved for an entire week.

To approve a users work day, hover over the highlighted day cell of the user. If there is anything that needs your attention, such as missing work time or non compliant breaks times, the tooltip will inform you.

You can then either approve the work time of that day or reject if something needs to be adjusted by the submitting user. In case of approval a confirmation modal will prompt you to confirm the approval of the work day.

In case of rejecting an entry, make sure to add a comment to unlock the rejection button.

Sometimes you need to reset the users work time due to accidentally approved or rejected work time. To reset the working time of a user, hover over the day cell and click on the appearing reset button. The work time of the reset day is given the status "pending".

To approve or unapproved a work time week, click on the highlighted week cell of the user. Depending on the status of the entries of the week, the resulting action is either approving or resetting all work time entries of the week: All work time entries change their status to pending, if all work entries are approved. Otherwise all work time entries of the week change their status to approved.
