Weekly timesheets

Weekly timesheets brings the relevant source records into one operating path. An employee enters regular hours across the week and overtime on Saturday. The named approver compares the Saturday entry with the week total; Admin records the approval decision. Payroll Admin reads the approved week at cutoff. The person link, effective date and current status give the next team a way to understand the decision without relying on a typed name or an email thread.

A preparer should check the record before handing it off. The reviewer needs the source dates and amounts in context, plus the authority to return a disputed item. When a correction is needed later, the team should retain the original record and explain the new effective value.

• Prepare. Employee starts with daily hours, category and weekly total and checks the employee link.
• Review. The named approver checks the record and its dates before a downstream team relies on it.
• Follow through. An employee enters regular hours across the week and overtime on Saturday. The named approver compares the Saturday entry with the week total; Admin records the approval decision. Payroll Admin reads the approved week at cutoff.

Decide the work-week boundary, approver assignment, cost center convention and how a rejected week returns for correction. Keep regular, overtime, double-time and on-call hours distinct. Define which person owns initial entry, who makes the decision, and which point closes further routine edits. Review the same rule for a normal cycle and a late correction. If the relevant employee changes role or department, keep the source period understandable to the next reviewer.

Use a representative worker and one pay period to settle the convention. Enter a real date range, assign a responsible reviewer and inspect the resulting status. The team can then compare the source against the next record before broadening access to everyone.

An employee enters regular hours across the week and overtime on Saturday. The named approver compares the Saturday entry with the week total; Admin records the approval decision. Payroll Admin reads the approved week at cutoff. Ask the recipient to find the source record using the person and period, then explain what was accepted and what would be returned. Rehearse a rejected or corrected version as well. A decision is useful only when the preparer can see what to change and the next team can tell which value is final.
