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.
