Frequently Asked Questions about the zistemo Timesheet Approval App

Who approves employee’s timesheet?

zistemo’s unique web based timesheet management system allows business owners or system admins to build and personalize their own online timesheet approval system. Employee timsheet management can be perfectly adapted to business specific requirements. Each employee can submit timesheet . All time entries will be sent straight to their direct line manager or project manager, depending on how the company’s workgroups and internal structures are divided. The process of approving employee time is very straightforward with instant notifications sent to both parties when a timesheet is submitted for revision. Rejection, approval, or editing requests with comments are instantly sent to the parties involved, keeping them in the loop. They allow recipients to act immediately, right from the email notification, preventing time-consuming delays, glitches, or errors.

Do employees have to approve their timesheets?

Every week or any other agreed time frame, employees can review and approve their time records right from their mobile device or by signing into their zistemo web user account. In addition to this, we support another level of approval which is highly recommended. Each business owner or admin has the freedom to configure an approval process for timesheet that meets their company’s exact needs. In general, approvals work on a two-tier basis that keeps both employees and their direct supervisor fully updated on each week’s progress and time records. The 4-eye system prevents unwanted overtime or time-tracking errors from interfering with pay period, payroll processing or timesheet invoicing.

Can a manager change your timesheet?

Each employee is entitled to be paid for all work performed in accordance to the company’s internal guidelines. However, under extraordinary circumstances, managers can modify someone’s timesheets, but only to correct system miscalculations, human mistakes or timesheet submission inaccuracies. This can be done with the employee’s permission in case of special circumstances, only when they cannot operate the changes in time cards themselves (vacation, illness, etc.). Managers cannot alter timesheet data to avoid paying the agreed wages for any already-completed work.
