Approving Time

Approvers must authorize that the time recorded for employees for a period is accurate. If you are set up as a time approver in Bullhorn Time & Expense, you will be emailed a link to the Approval Application. No username or password is required. Follow the steps below to approve employee time.

Carefully review any time for the assignment before approving it, this action cannot be reversed.

By approving time, you are authorizing that the time entered for that assignment is accurate.

  1. In the Approval Application, hover over the Total Hours hyperlink to view additional details about hours worked.
    • If any overtime or double time entries are present, they will appear in this view.
  2. To view the timesheet with more detail, select click to view. This will display more information about the day to day time entered for the employee.
  3. After reviewing the details you can approve time in two ways:
    • Individual Approval: Select the checkmark at the end of the row for the assignment.
    • Multi-Approval: Click Multi Approval Option and select all the timesheets you want to approve. Then, click Submit.
  4. After completing time approval, you will receive a Confirmation email outlining the time approved and/or disputed.

If you have already approved the time, and then notice an error or mistake, contact your agency administrator and/or payroll for any corrections. There is not a way to "un-approve" time once it has been approved.
