A timesheet may have several different statuses as it progresses through the submittal and approval process as explained below:

Not Started

The employee has not opened and started the timesheet for the specific pay period. The supervisor cannot view the timesheet. A supervisor will not be able to select a pay period to view until at least one employee in the department has started their timesheet for that specific pay period.

In Progress

The employee has started the timesheet but it has not been submitted for approval. The supervisor can view the timesheet but cannot take any action until the timesheet has been submitted for approval.

Pending

The employee has submitted the timesheet which is now pending the supervisor’s approval. The supervisor can take choose to Approve, Return for Correction, or Change Record. Employees can use the Return Time button at the bottom of a timesheet in Pending status to return the timesheet to themselves, make corrections, and Submit for Approval again.

Approved

The timesheet has been approved by the supervisor. A time sheet in Approved status can only be returned by the supervisor for the employee to make corrections. Employees cannot return Approved timesheets to themselves.

Returned for Correction

The timesheet was returned to the employee by the supervisor for correction.

Completed

The timesheet has been processed through payroll.

Overridden

The timesheet was not approved by the supervisor by the submittal deadline and was overridden by payroll.
