How do I approve & make adjustments to a timesheet as an Admin?

Your employees have submitted their timesheets. Now what? Keep reading to find out what your options are for approving timesheets.

To approve or make an edit to a timesheet, please follow the steps below:

1. When you're logged into GoCo (as an administrator), click View for the Time Tracking card.
   
2. Click on the tab Timesheets. Here you'll see the pay periods in which timesheets can be approved. You'll see a button that says Review if there are any timesheets to be approved. 

You have a couple of options on how to approve:

1. 1. You can click View on each employee's timesheet and Approve them one by one.
      
   2. If you know all timesheets are ready to go for this pay period, you can click Approve All to approve all open timesheets.
      
      

Should you need to make any edits to a timesheet, follow these steps:

1. Click View next to the employee's timesheet that you wish to edit.
2. Click on the date that needs to be adjusted & either hit the "Edit" button next to the existing time or hit the "+Add Hours" button below to add a new time.
   
   
3. When adding hours or editing, you will be asked for some details depending on what your Time Tracking policy requires, like a Manager Note explaining the reasoning for this edit. Input the required information and hit the blue "Save" button.
   
   
4. The employee's timesheet has now been updated!
   
   
5. Once you have approved and made all your adjustments, you can hit the "Export to Payroll" button to download this hourly report, confirm that you want to close this payroll period & upload it to your payroll provider. 

🚨GoCo will notify you when it is time for you to approve timesheets. It is important to get the timesheets approved as soon as possible to make sure it gets updated in time for payroll!
