How to approve working hours
When an employee has checked in and out and the shifts, the hours are sent to you for approval. You can manage these hours from the time tracking overview by clicking on 'X changes awaiting approval'.
After clicking on 'X changes awaiting approval' you can manage the working hours. You will be able to see both the scheduled hours as well as the edited/checked hours. To approve the hours, simply tick ☑️ them off and click on 'Approve'.
Personalizing your time clock settings
The time clock settings allow you to ease the review process using automation. For instance, you can determine when shifts can be approved automatically. You can find the time clock settings by selecting 'Time clock' in settings.
These settings also allow you to configure a waiting period after a shift's scheduled end time, ensuring that approval is not premature and that any updates to the shift data can be accounted for. You can read more about the time clock here.
FAQ
Can I still edit the hours of a shift that is already approved?
Yes, you can navigate to the shift in the schedule view and edit the already approved shift's times by clicking on the shift and selecting 'Edit shift'.What happens if an employee forgets to check in or out?
If an employee forgets to check in and/or out, the clocked/edited hours will remain empty and the scheduled hours will be shown. If the employee in question can share their arrival and departure times with you, you can adjust the times in the approval modal shown above.
Why can’t I approve a shift immediately after its scheduled end time?
Workfeed requires a configurable waiting period after a shift’s end to ensure accurate time tracking and allow for any final shift-data updates. Once this time elapses, the shift becomes available for approval.
