HRplus Time Workflow Overview


The workflow in HRplus Time refers to the approval of Timesheets and allows you to:

  • set up a maximum of ten (10) sequential approval stages (Levels 1 to 10) and a minimum of two (2) (Levels 1 to 2).

  • link EACH of these ten (10) individual stages to ONE employee ONLY. Each employee must be a designated Timekeeper.

  • Enable/Disable workflows.

  • Perform the following actions:

  • Move Forward: send timesheet to next sequential Level.

  • Move Backward: send timesheet to previous Level. Must be at Level 2 or more.

  • Post Record: Only the Timekeeper at the last Level can perform this action. Post Record means final approval of the timesheets.

These actions can also be performed in Batch – enabling the approval and/or posting of a batch of timesheets (by Company, Schedule, Shift etc.).

Schedules, Shifts, Employees in Schedules/Shifts are, of course, pre-requisites that need to be set up before using the Timesheets workflow.

How to use the Workflow in HRplus Time?


Before using this module, please ensure that:

  1. For each Schedule, employees (timekeepers) to whom timesheets should be routed are identified.

  2. Timekeepers are categorized into the various workflow stages of Level 1, Level 2 etc.

  3. Timekeepers have the necessary permissions (Schedules, Company Access, etc).

The steps to use the Time and Attendance Workflow are as follows:

  1. Enable the Workflow.

    • For the selected Schedule, enable the Workflow – by default, the workflow is disabled. Enable/ Disable Workflow.

  2. Set up Approval Levels/Timekeepers.

    • Set up Approval Levels to a maximum of 10 and a minimum of 2.

    • Assign each Approval Level to a single Timekeeper. The Timekeeper must have the required permissions for the Schedule, Company etc. Step 1: Set up Approval Levels/Timekeepers

  3. Use Workflow

    • On logon, Timekeepers are able to view the Timesheets for their approval.

    • Timekeepers at Level 1 can move forward timesheet records.

    • Timekeepers at Level 2 and up, can move forward/backward timesheet records.

    • Timekeepers at the final approval Level, can move forward/backward/post timesheet records.

    • Timesheets, once moved forward/backward, will only be displayed to the Timekeeper who has to perform the next approval action.

    • All Timekeepers can view the workflow history of a timesheet by clicking the Progress button.

    • Timesheets can be processed individually or in batch via the Batch Workflow Actions button.

    • Posted Timesheets are checked as Approved and is the final workflow stage.
