Good to Know
- A change of period starts with the next period, never in the middle of one.
- For fortnights, choose the Monday they count from.
- With No approval, Each period locks itself a few days after it ends, giving managers time to fix missed punches.
- Under If nobody approves, choose how long a timesheet waits before it moves up to the approver's manager, then HR.
- On Enterprise, choose a Custom chain of up to five steps.
If Something Goes Wrong
- You can't change these settings. They need HR, Owner or Admin, with a role that covers every site.
- Timesheets already waiting kept the old approvers. A change applies to the timesheets still to come.
