Who may approve a timesheet

A timesheet must be approved or sent back by someone other than the person who submitted it and the worker it belongs to.

This rule applies everywhere a timesheet or its hours can be approved:

• Contractor Timesheets (staffing): Approve and Reject.
• HR timesheets: Approve and Reject, including approvals that come from employee self-service.
• The Status field on the Contractor Timesheets and Time Entries record screens. You cannot set Approved, Rejected or Paid on hours you submitted, keyed in or worked yourself.
• The API. The same calls are refused with the same message.
