Where to start
Open Timesheets → Review. The list filters to your team by default (you only see staff who report to you, unless you're a Super Admin).
Steps
- Filter by week. The default is the current pay cycle.
- Click any row to open the timesheet. Cross-check the staff member's submitted hours against the published shifts (Optiq highlights variances).
- If a timesheet needs changes, click Reject — the staff member is notified and asked to resubmit with a note.
- For clean timesheets, click Approve.
- To bulk-approve, select multiple rows in the list and click Approve selected in the toolbar.
Tips
- The variance column shows submitted vs scheduled. Anything > 30 min is highlighted — check before approving.
- You can leave a comment when approving or rejecting — staff see it in the timesheet history.
