1. Require supervisor authorization for all hourly time entries and edits by Employee?

This setting controls whether hourly time entries (using the manual time entry form) and edits need to be approved by a user’s supervisor before they are paid or archived on the timesheet. (The default setting for new users is determined by setting number 4 on the Hourly tab of the Company Settings page.) If a user requires a setting that differs from the company default, the adjustment can be made here. It can be set to ‘Yes’, or ‘No’.

2. Require supervisor authorization for all project time entries and edits by Employee?

This setting controls whether project time entries (using the manual time entry or week view forms) and edits need to be approved by a user’s supervisor before they are archived on the timesheet. (The default setting for new users is determined by setting number 4 on the Project tab of the Company Settings page.) If a user requires a setting that differs from the company default, the adjustment can be made here. It can be set to ‘Yes’, or ‘No’.

Exception to these settings

The only way that time records will generate alerts, or that will require supervisor approval, even of any of these two settings (or both) are set to ‘No’ (meaning that, they don’t require supervisor approval for timesheet entries and edits) is if the records are already marked as approved (green checkmark).

If this is the case, since the records are marked as approved by a manager, editing them will generate an alert, and they will require approval by a supervisor or administrator.
