Timesheet Status

The Timesheet Status Maintenance is where you can create a Timesheet Status which will define where a Timesheet is at in the Approval Process.

Understanding a Timesheet Status
Consider the statuses as rungs on a ladder; as the 'Order' gets higher the approval level gets higher, ending with the highest which is ‘HR Approved’. If a User’s access is lower on the ladder than the current Timesheet Status they will be unable to approve.

Creating a New Timesheet Status

  1. New

    1. ID
      The short name for back end reference.

    2. Description
      The long name that will show throughout LightWork.

    3. Order
      This defines which 'Timesheet Status' comes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
      Note: It is a good idea to leave a gap between the different levels in case there is a need to add a new level in the future.

Note: These levels are completely User definable. You can have an unlimited number of levels and they can be assigned to Employees based on each individual Organization or Approval structure.
