Why Timesheet Authorization Is Important
Authorizing your timesheet:
-
Confirms you were paid for all hours worked
-
Helps prevent payroll delays or corrections

Protects both you and the Company in the event of audits or reviews
Failure to review or authorize your timesheet, or authorizing inaccurate time, may result in delayed corrections and could lead to corrective action if errors are not communicated timely.
