Once Timesheets have been submitted from your Crew Leads, they’ll be ready for your review and approval. Follow the instructions below to approve timesheets in line with LMN’s best practices.
⚠️ Note that timesheets do need to be submitted before they can be approved, and timesheets that are ‘In Progress’ will not show up in the Approve screen until they are submitted.
This is expected behavior in LMN. In Progress timesheets can still be tracked and reviewed elsewhere, but only submitted timesheets appear on the Approve screen. To make a timesheet eligible for approval, the Crew Lead must fully finish the day by punching out of active work and tapping Submit Timesheet.
Navigate to Timesheets > Approve
Here, you can take bulk actions to approve timesheets quickly by clicking the checkboxes and then clicking Update Timesheets.
You can also click on a Timesheet entry to expand and see more details.
Once expanded, click on a Crew name for even more details.
If a time appears in red, it has been edited.
You can see the time it was edited further to the right.
You can also click on the Map button to see where the individual was when they clocked in, out or edited their time.
⚠️ LMN GPS is a location stamp captured when someone clocks in, clocks out, or edits time. It is not continuous live tracking, so this screen should be reviewed regularly if you want to verify where work happened.
If Edits to their time or services are needed click the Edit button to adjust the timesheet.
If it says ‘No GPS’ here, it’s possible the crew member clocked in from a computer with location disabled, or from their phone that had GPS turned off, or location permissions disabled.
To capture GPS on future punches, the crew member must allow location services for LMN Crew on their phone before clocking in or out again. If location access is already enabled and GPS still does not appear, confirm the crew member is using the latest version of the app and test again on their next punch.
Once reviewed, you can approve timesheets in bulk with a single click with the Approve button.
💡We recommend approving Timesheets from this screen opposed to the Timesheet list as it is faster and information such as GPS coordinates, notes and Services can be quickly verified.
⚠️ Approvals cannot be completed in the LMN Crew App; they must be completed in LMN from your browser.
If a submitted timesheet is not appearing
If a submitted timesheet is still missing, first review your office-side filters. In the Approve screen or Timesheet List, confirm you are using the correct date range and crew filters, and if needed change the status filter to show all timesheets while you review.
If the timesheet still does not appear, have the Crew Lead open LMN Crew while connected to Wi-Fi, pull down to refresh, and leave the screen open for about 30 seconds to force a sync.
If the timesheet still does not appear after refreshing, confirm the app is up to date. If needed, submit an in-app bug report for further investigation.
