Timesheet approval workflow software

Timvora gives you a clean timesheet approval workflow: employees submit, managers approve or reject with a comment in one click, and approved weeks lock automatically. No chasing submissions over email, and no edits after sign-off.

How the approval workflow works

  • Weekly timesheets move DRAFT → SUBMITTED → APPROVED → LOCKED
  • Managers approve in one click or reject with a required comment
  • Approved weeks become read-only; reopening needs an explicit unlock
  • Submission can be per-day, so a week can be partly submitted

Reminders, notifications & audit

  • Submission reminders so you stop chasing timesheets
  • Notifications to managers and employees at each step
  • Every approval and rejection is audit-logged with before/after snapshots
  • Self-approval is blocked at every level — including admins

Rounding & overtime applied at submission

  • Configurable rounding (15 / 30 / 60 minutes) applied on submit
  • Overtime detected against daily and weekly thresholds
  • Locked entries stay immutable on every write path

Frequently asked questions

How does timesheet approval work in Timvora?

Employees submit a weekly timesheet; the manager approves in one click or rejects with a comment. Approved weeks lock to read-only, and reopening requires an explicit unlock.

Can a manager reject part of a timesheet?

Yes — rejection requires a comment, and submission can be per-day, so a week can be partly approved while the rest stays in draft.

Is approval included on the free plan?

Yes. Approvals are included on every plan, including free for up to 5 users — unlike trackers that gate approvals behind paid tiers.
