What are Time Approvers and How to Assign Them

Time Approvers review timesheets and approve or deny time edit requests for the employees they are assigned to. They can also make manual edits to those employees' timesheets when needed.

Example: If Richard is Terrance's manager, Richard can be added as Terrance's Time Approver so Richard can review Terrance's timesheet, approve Terrance's time edits, and make manual adjustments when needed.

To assign a Time Approver:
  1. Log in to BerniePortal as an employer

  3. Open the employee's profile
  4. Select Time
  5. Select Approvers
  6. Under Add a New Time Approver, type the name in the Search employees field

You can add more than one Time Approver for the same employee.

To remove a Time Approver:
