Overview: If your employer has enabled time card approvals, you'll be asked to submit your time card every pay period.

Important: When time cards are submitted for approval, they become locked and no new time can be added. Please confirm with your Manager or Administrator when they'd like you to submit your time card - typically at the end of the pay period.
