Users will now be able to see the date and time an employee submitted their Timesheet, as well as the date and time the Administrator and Manager approved the Timesheet.
If the Administrator or Manager has not yet approved the Timesheet, the related Approval Date and Time field will display “Pending Approval.”

For users with access to Attendance → Reporting → Time Reports we have added new sections to the following reports:

Users will now be able to see the date and time the Administrator and Manager approved the Timeclock.
If the Administrator or Manager has not yet approved the Timeclock, the related Approval Date and Time field will display “Pending Approval.”

Users with access to Attendance → Reporting → Time Reports, will now be able to see any notes left by employees using Time Card. These notes will be shown on the following reports:

- Time Card Details Report (Date Range) - Excel

Employee Deductions
The Employee Deduction page no longer restricts the Goal, Paid, and Year-to-Date Max fields to positive numbers only. To support scenarios such as deduction reversals, corrections, or reimbursements, the system will now allow negative numbers in these fields.
For users with access to the Employee Deduction page, navigate to:
- Manage Employees → Employee Center (select employee) → Payroll (tab) → Deductions (tab)
- Or, Payroll → Edit Employee Info → Deductions
