Who Can Approve My Timecard?

There are three possible ways that a timesheet may be approved.

1. Anyone in your chain of command (COC) may approve a timecard. This extends from your first tier manager up to the Executive VP of your Business Group (BG). WebET users should make every attempt to obtain approval from someone within the COC. Only when there is no alternative should an employee resort to non-COC approval.

2. Within each BG there is at least one person who has authorization to approve any timecard. The list of approvers is included in the Appendix under Authorized BG Approvers. If a timesheet is approved by someone outside the COC the timecard will be flagged as requiring post payroll processing. It is the responsibility of your direct reporting manager to ensure your timesheet is approved. However, you should monitor the status of your timesheet to ensure that this approval has occured.

3. A group of accounting managers are authorized to approve all timecards. If it is not possible to obtain approval from someone within your COC and none of the BG Approvers are available several of the accounting managers are able to approve any employee's timesheet. If a timesheet is approved by someone outside the COC the timecard will be flagged as requiring post payroll processing. A list of accounting managers authorized to approve timecards is included in the Appendix under Accounting Management Timecard Approvers.
