How to Approve & Deny Time Edits
Time Approvers can approve or deny employee-submitted time edit requests for the employees they are assigned to.
To access:
- Log in to BerniePortal as a Time Approver
- Select Time in the top navigation
- Select Other Time in the secondary menu
- Select Edit Requests in the left-hand menu
To approve or deny a request:
- Review the Time Edit Requests table. Each row shows the employee name, Clocked Date & Time, and Requested Date & Time
- In the Actions column, open the gear menu and select Approve edit or Deny edit
- If you select Deny edit, the Send message with deny email? window opens. Enter an optional message, then select Send or Send without message
To approve every pending request on the page, select Approve All.
To review a request on the employee's timesheet, select the employee name in the table. On the timesheet, open the gear menu in the Actions column for that day and select Approve or Deny for the requested time shown in the menu.
When a pending edit is on the timesheet, the original punch is crossed out, the requested time appears next to it, and the comment icon shows the employee's reason. After you approve, the adjusted time remains and an exclamation icon shows the original time, adjusted time, and reason. After you deny, the original punch stays and the employee's reason remains on the comment icon.
From the TO DO list:
- Log in to BerniePortal as a Time Approver
- On the Home page, expand Time under TO DO
- Select the employee's name to open their timesheet with the pending edit
- Open the gear menu in the Actions column for that day and select Approve or Deny for the requested time
