Approving time with Buildforce

Approving time with Buildforce allows you to review time entries that have been submitted by workers on your jobs. The hours being reviewed are for the prior week’s work. Review and approve entries starting Monday. Deadline: Wednesdays at 5:00 PM CST.

How to approve time with Buildforce

If any employee submitted their time for the week, you'll receive an email on the following Monday to approve their hours. To approve the time, simply tap "View time" in the email. Alternatively, you can also navigate to the "Time approval" tab on the Buildforce Contractor App.

To approve the work week, 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 on the pencil icon for the specific hours you want to modify under “Hours”. This will allow you to enter the updated hours for that time entry.

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 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 time entry you want to view.
