Note: Voided time logs will never move forward to a payroll, and cannot be edited.

Note: Suspended time logs are frozen and will not move forward to a payroll until they are approved.

Note: Approved time logs can move forward to a payroll once the Paymaster accepts them.

Note: All approved time logs dated prior to the current pay period will be accepted into the current payroll. If you don't want an approved time log to be accepted into the current payroll, you must suspend or void it.

Viewing Suspended Time Logs

Suspending a time log will prevent it from moving forward into a payroll, although it can still be changed to Approved later.

Note: When there are Suspended time logs in the current date range in the Timelogs Approver Overview, a warning message displays at the top of the page.

Note: Select the Address the Suspended Timelogs hyperlink in the warning message to view only the suspended time logs. This will filter the Timelogs Approver Overview to days, within the selected date range, that have Suspended time logs.
