Approval of Time Tracking changes and additions

In Emply employees can change time blocks from the standard regular work schedule and add more time blocks. For all or selected payroll groups, managers and admins can enable a requirement for managers to approve the change when time registration differs from the employees regular schedule.

Approval of Time Tracking for employees

In Emply you can change your time blocks from the standard regular work schedule. Your employer can enable a requirement for your manager to approve the change when your time registration differs from the regular schedule.

Prerequistites

When approval is enabled, an approval will only be requested when time blocks are changed or added compared to the regular work schedule - see Add and edit your work time. Time registration according to the regular schedule will not require approval. To set up a regular work schedule for the first time, see Create and edit your regular work schedule.

When enabled, approval will be requested when:

  • When an employee adds additional work hours, breaks or working from home.

  • When an employee edits work hours, breaks or working from home.

When you have edited a time block or added a new one, a request will be sent to your manager, or any other person registered as the approver for your payroll group.

In the Emply , you will see a yellow marking on the time block, until your manager has taken action.

If your manager rejects the change, you will see a red marking on the time block. Your manager will have the option to write a comment explaining why it was rejected.

If your manager accepts the change, no colored marking will appear, and the time block will appear the same way as any of the time blocks created by your regular schedule.
