Instructions for Timesheet Approvers

Timesheet approvers help employees get paid accurately and on time. They remind employees to submit timesheets on deadline, check for accurate hours and leave codes, and approve timesheets in a timely manner. Timesheet approver instructions demonstrate how to access, filter, deny/change and approve timesheets within TU’s system.

Tips for Approvers 

• Send timesheet reminders. Keep track of the regular and contingent timesheet calendars and set a recurring calendar notice to remind employees to submit before the deadline. Make sure to leave enough time for approvals.
• Check for accuracy. Confirm that timesheets submitted reflect hours worked and use the correct leave codes. Where appropriate, change/update timesheets to be accurate. Send training materials to those in need.
• Approve on time. Approve timesheets in the system before the deadline. If you’ll be out of the office, ask employees to submit timesheets early or ask your department’s alternate approver to review on your behalf. Pay close attention to the deadlines—late submissions may delay paychecks.

For questions about the approver role or process, call 410-704-5599 or email finservehelp@towson.edu.
