Who Approves Timesheets?

Each company's timesheets are approved either by the Outstaffer team (the default) or by your Account Owner and Hiring Manager users. Contact Outstaffer support to switch it; timesheets already submitted don't need resubmitting.

Timesheets are approved either by the Outstaffer team or by your own team. New companies start with the Outstaffer team approving. Timesheets are approved a week at a time.

If the Outstaffer team approves

You can still see every submitted timesheet and its status under Timesheets, but there are no Approve or Reject buttons.

If your company approves

Any Account Owner or Hiring Manager user at your company can approve or reject a week from Timesheets > Ready for approval. When an employee submits a week, their manager gets a notification. Finance and Accounts users can't open Timesheets. See How to Approve or Reject a Timesheet.

Changing who approves

You can't change this setting yourself. Contact Outstaffer support and the Outstaffer team will switch it for your company.

Timesheets already submitted don't need to be cancelled or resubmitted. Once the setting changes, whoever now approves can approve or reject them.
