Why can't I submit my timesheet?

The option to submit your timesheet only appears once certain criteria are met. It will be hidden if:
  • No entries exist for the week.
  • You are viewing a partial week (e.g., a week that hasn’t started or ended yet).
  • You have already submitted your timesheet for that week.
  • The week is locked by an approver.
Locked timesheets
  • You cannot edit a locked weekly timesheet (a timesheet that has already been approved).
  • Request a reopen from your approver if changes are required.

After you submit your timesheet

  • Your timesheet status updates to Submitted in the My timesheet area.
  • Your approver receives an email notification letting them know your week is ready for review.
  • If you add time after submitting, your approver will see it when reviewing and may ask you to resubmit
  • Your approver reviews your submitted entries in the Approvals area.
  • If everything looks correct, they approve your timesheet and the week becomes locked.
  • If changes are needed, your approver may request edits. You’ll receive an email with their feedback.

Resubmit your timesheet

  1. Open your timesheet.
  2. Make the requested updates. You can also make your own edits until such time as the timesheet is approved.
  3. Click Resubmit.

Timesheet statuses

  • Submitted: awaiting approval from an assigned time approver.
  • Needs changes: approver requests updates to your submitted timesheet.
  • Approved: that weekly timesheet is locked and time entries cannot be added to or edited for that week.

Best practices

  • Regular check-ins: Review and submit your timesheet at the same time each week to build a consistent habit.
  • Clarity and accuracy: Ensure each entry has a clear description, correct project, and correct billable status before submitting.
  • Timeliness: Submit early if your approver needs time to review before billing or reporting cycles.
