Overview
This article provides a guide on approving time entries using the Buildforce Contractor App. The updated process will now allow Contractors to review and approve time submissions from workers on their jobs. Time approvals can be done any day of the week but must be completed by 5:00 PM CST on the Wednesday following the pay period.
Approving time with Buildforce
Approving time with Buildforce allows you to review time entries submitted by workers on your jobs. You can approve time entries any day of the week, up until the following Wednesday of that pay period at 5:00 PM CST.
How to approve time with Buildforce
To approve time, navigate to the "Time approval" tab on the Buildforce Contractor App. You will be provided with a view that displays all the time entries submitted by workers.
If you find any discrepancy in the submitted entries, you have the option to edit them. You can do this by clicking directly on the clock in and clock out fields and change the specific hours you want to modify. You can:
Edit time by timestamps or total hours and add break times
Change the project using a drop-down menu
When you're ready to approve an individual worker's hours, tap "Approve". Alternatively, tap "Approve all" to approve all submitted time entries.
View time entry details
When you are reviewing and approving time, you can take a closer look at the time entries details before giving your approval. This can help you gather more information about the clock-in and clock-out times of workers, as well as their respective locations. Additionally, you can also view any edits that have been made to the time entry.
To view these details, just tap on the three dots to the right of the time entry you want to view.
Additional features
Filter view: You can filter time entries by the project and view them by worker or day.
Daily approvals: You can review and approve time entries throughout the week, as often as daily if you prefer.
📣 Remember, while you can approve time throughout the week, all approvals must be completed by the following Wednesday at 5:00 PM CST.
