Introduction
A consolidated listing of employee timesheets regardless of status that are accessible through the Employees>Approve Timesheet sub menu. The Approve Timesheet interface which is of similar to design to that of the schedule board, is used to approve individual or groups of employee timesheet by service status, branch, funding source and date range. The interface only supports the timesheet approval of client services either completed either through the Schedule Board or viz the Brevity Care mobile application or cancelled with a charge through the schedule board.
It represents also an important element in the Client funding and Client Invoicing batching processes, as well as validating variations of service time, travel and transport costings. As the Approve timesheet interface provides the system user with access to the timesheet record. it does therefore allow for updates to be undertaken to a selected record.
