Review and approve timecards

Timecard review and approvals are permission based

To review and approve worker timecards, your account must have one of the following roles enabled:

  • Role: Company Admin, Company Manager, Project Coordinator, Project Assistant

  • Custom role with: Timecards - Full access, Create and manage, Approve only

Reviewing timecards

You can review timecards from two different places in Wrapbook:

  • The project’s Approvals page

  • The project’s Timecards & Expenses dashboard

Review and approve timecards via the Approvals page

If you’re responsible for approving project timecards and expenses, an Approval link will display in the left left-side navigation along with an alert showing how many timecards currently require your review and approval.

On the Approvals page, worker timecards that have been submitted for approval are listed with the following information:

  • Status

  • Dates

  • Requestor’s name

  • Worker’s name

  • Request date

  • Amount

Timecard Status

Wrapbook uses a status hierarchy to determine the overall status of a timecard in the Approvals queue.

Here’s how it works:

  • A status from the hierarchy is applied to each payable within the timecard

  • Each timecard status listed on the Approvals page is determined by the most dominant status in the hierarchy that’s been applied to a payable within the timecard.

Click the arrow to view the timecard status hierarchy
