This article explains how employees can add time and approve their own timesheets using the WorkEasy mobile app when self-service time entry and self-approval are enabled.
Before you begin
Your administrator has enabled employee self-service time entry and self-approval for your reporting hours rule.
You can access your timesheet in the WorkEasy mobile app.
Admin note:
These capabilities are controlled in Settings > Time Tracking > Reporting Hours. For more details, admins should go to Allow Employees to Add Time and Approve Their Own Timesheets.
Add time in the mobile app
Log in to the WorkEasy mobile app and tap My Portal.
Tap Timesheets.
Tap Add Time on a weekday, or tap the + button and select Add Time.
Complete the fields on the Add Time screen.
Type: Select how time is entered.
From and To: Select the date range.
Hours: Enter the number of hours.
Time code: Select the appropriate time code.
Location: Select a location, if applicable.
Comments: Enter comments, if needed.
Tap the checkmark button to save the time entry.
Approve your timesheet in the mobile app
From My Timesheet, tap the + button.
Tap Approve Timesheet.
Confirm the approval when prompted. The timesheet status updates to Approved.
How mobile timesheet approval works
Timesheet approval behavior in the WorkEasy mobile app depends on whether an approval workflow is configured and who initiates the workflow.
Workflow initiated by the employee
When the employee is the first person to approve the timesheet, the workflow is initiated by the employee. In this case, the employee must have edit access to approve the timesheet and start the workflow.
Workflow initiated by the manager
When a manager initiates the approval workflow and the employee approves the timesheet afterward, the employee does not need edit access to approve the timesheet.
No approval workflow
If no approval workflow is configured, the employee can approve the timesheet in the mobile app only if the employee has edit access.
No edit access
If the employee does not have edit access, the employee cannot approve the timesheet in the mobile app.
