How do I approve timesheets?
Last updated: August 27, 2026
Summary: You can approve timesheets two ways — from the Timesheets page in your dashboard, or with one click from the weekly approval email. You'll get a confirmation once it's done.
Two ways to approve
1. From your dashboard
Open the Timesheets page in your dashboard, review the week's timesheets, and approve them.
2. From the weekly approval email
At the end of each work week we email you a one-click approval with the previous week's timesheets. You can either:
click the approval button in the email, or
reply to the email with the word "approved."
Either way, you'll get a confirmation email once your approval is recorded.
Good to know
Approve promptly so the time makes the weekly payroll run — see What is the timesheet approval deadline?
If a timesheet looks wrong (incorrect hours, missing entries, wrong worker), decline it and contact your staffing agency — they manage the workers and can correct the record before the next payroll cycle.
For anything about the platform itself — you cannot see a timesheet, the approval link will not work, or your approval was not recorded — email support@ascen.com.
