Approve Timesheet Entries Submitted by an Employee 

1. 

Approving Leave

After an employee submits time or leave for approval, you see the message "You have time to approve" in the Portal Time Approval pane.

Select the Manager Summary Approval Page link to identify the employee(s) submitting time or leave.

The Summary Approval page displays.

2. 

Select the employee name.

The Manager Timesheet for the employee you selected displays.

3. 

Check the Time Reporting Code (TRC) used. Confirm that the TRC used is appropriate to the reason leave was used. If not, change the TRC to an appropriate leave type.

4. 

Ensure that the employee has a balance of the leave type.

5. 

Ensure the date on which the leave was entered is a scheduled workday and is on the day the employee was absent.

Ensure that the amount of time entered is equal to the amount of time the employee was absent.

Correct any errors.

6. 

Select the E-Sign & Approve button.

The Save Confirmation page displays.

7. 

Select the OK button.

When an employee is separating, all time and leave entries are ideally made before the payroll deadline that applies to that employee.

Contact the HHS Employee Service Center for guidance when this is not the case. End.
