Sign-Off Preparation

Sign-off preparation enables users, such as payroll administrations, to temporarily prevent employees and managers from making timecard edits or submitting changes while they are preparing the timecard for sign-off.

When sign-off preparation is enabled, the timecard and schedule appear as if they are signed-off to employees and managers, while users with permission to edit during Sign-Off Preparation can review, edit, and prepare the timecard for sign-off. Sign-off preparation is supported with the previous pay period.

To enable sign-off preparation:

  1. Open the Employee Summary or a Dataview.
  2. Select the Previous Pay Period.
  3. Select the necessary employees.
  4. Select Approval > Enable Sign-Off Preparation.

To disable sign-off preparation, select Approval > Disable Sign-Off Preparation. When a manager with permission to edit during sign-off preparation signs-off the timecard, sign-off preparation is automatically disabled.

Note: To enable or disable sign-off preparation and make edits during sign-off preparation, managers need the appropriate access rights.
