Approval

This topic only applies to payroll administrators or approvers.

If the company is using the approval process, either the payroll administrator or the approver must approve the employees' time reports before they can be transferred to the payroll program. The approver only has the authority to approve time reports for employees they are responsible for, as opposed to a payroll administrator who has the right to approve and adjust time reports for all employees.

If the Approval option does not show in the menu, the feature has not been activated. The feature can only be activated by the payroll administrator under Settings - Company settings by clicking on the Show Approval in the menu button.

Do the following to approve your employees' time reports:

  1. Select Approval - Approvals (payroll administrators)/Approval (approvers).
  2. Make sure the correct period is selected.

If you select Show inactive, any employees who no longer use Visma Lön Anställd, but who have made registrations in the service, will be shown.

  1. Select the Submitted tab to view which time reports are ready for approval.
  2. If you have continuously reviewed the time reports during the deviation period, you can approve all reports at once by selecting Approve all.
  3. If you prefer to approve one report at a time, select a time report from the list, review the report, and choose Approve or Reject. If you want to see a detailed report for the employee, you can select Open time report.

When the time reports have been approved, they are ready for transfer to the payroll program. If you want to undo an approval, you choose the report from the list and then select Undo approval. The time report will then be moved back to the Submitted tab.

If a time report needs to be corrected by the employee before it is OK for approval, you select Reject. All days will then be marked as not approved in the calendar. It is therefore important that you write a comment to explain to the employee which specific day that is not approved and why. When the employee has corrected the time registration in the calendar, they must submit the time report again. Time reports that have not been approved are displayed in the Not OK for Approval tab.

  1. Select Print time report if you want to print the report or create a PDF.

To get detailed information such as retrospective registrations, adjustments and registrations via mobile phone, you must print the report. You can select if you want to print a summarised or specified report. Read more in the topic Time reports.
