Approval history
What this means
Timesheet approvals are a management workflow where submitted team hours are reviewed, corrected, and locked by managers before they are used for billing or payroll.
Agencies, consultancies, accounting firms, and companies with strict compliance or billing standards where hour verification is required.
Unchecked hours reach client invoices, causing disputes
If team hours flow directly to billing without review, errors slip through. Incorrect descriptions, wrong project mappings, and double entries land on invoices, leading to client billing disputes and lost trust.
Signs this is happening on your team
- Invoices are sent with description errors or wrong hours
- Clients request timesheet corrections after receiving invoices
- No formal review step for employee timesheets
- Managers edit timesheets directly in spreadsheets, breaking records
- Team members modify timesheets after they have been billed
What this costs you
Billing unchecked hours results in invoice delays, client relationship strain, and audit compliance failures when records can be changed without traces.
Locked timesheet review and sign-off workflows
TimeTracker adds a formal approval step. Team members submit their weekly timesheets, locking them from changes. Managers review, comment, and approve. Approved hours are locked and sent to billing.
