Can project managers review worker timesheets?

To begin, you'll have to assign your manager's role as Payroll Manager in QuickBooks Time, @pat115. After that, you can set up notifications to inform them when a worker submits their time.  I'll guide you through this process.

Since there's no direct option to create a workflow for this, the best workaround is to enable notifications so they can be alerted when a worker submits their time. Here’s how to do it:

1. Navigate to Feature Add-ons from the left navigation panel. Then, select Approvals Preferences.

2. Click on the Notifications tab.

3. In the Email managers when section, ensure to check the box next to Each team member submits their timesheets. 

Once the notification is enabled, your manager will be informed whenever a worker submits their time. They can then Approve or Reject the timesheet by following these steps:

1. Go to Approvals.

2. Select the desired report dates and team members, then click Run Report.

3. You can now Approve or Reject your team member's timesheet as necessary.

Thank you for this response. This is what I am doing now. I meant to ask if our project managers can review and approve time posted to their projects. We create customer:jobs in quickbooks and each one has a PM. A PM typically has 5-10 projects they are responsible for. Staff posts time to customer:jobs. I’d like PMs to review a report of time posted to their jobs. Can this be done? 

We will need to assign your Project Manager to a specific role to be able to approve and review time posted to their projects in QB, @pat. I'll provide the steps to this.
