Disallow Timesheet

Why Disallow a Timesheet?

The Disallow Timesheet feature provides flexibility when handling timesheets that cannot be approved, deleted, or edited due to specific circumstances. Admins can now formally disallow problematic timesheets, ensuring they are documented while maintaining an accurate audit trail.

Scenarios Where a Timesheet Might Be Disallowed

  • The Reporter Left Service Early: The reporter exited the program before completing necessary edits, leaving timesheets in an incomplete or un-approvable state.
  • A Former Admin or Supervisor Did Not Sign the Timesheet: If an approver left the organization before signing pending timesheets, those sheets may remain unapproved. When no current admin has the authority to approve them, disallowing the sheets helps maintain accurate records.
  • Fraudulent Entries: If a timesheet is found to contain falsified information, disallowing it ensures it is not approved while preserving a record of the submission for transparency and auditing purposes.

Admin Permissions Needed to Disallow Timesheets

Only admins with the Timesheet Director role are permitted to disallow timesheets. 

(Check out this article for more information about Admin Permissions.)

Here are the steps to enable the permission for Timesheet Directors: 

  1. In your Mission Control, click Reporters, Admins, & Sites.
  2. On the right, under the Manage admin roles.
  3. Click Edit next to the name of the Admin Role (that already has the Timesheet Director permission enabled).
  4. Scroll to the Timesheets panel at the bottom of the window. 
  5. Under Timesheet Director, check the permission: Enable timesheet disallowance feature. 
  6. Click Update to save your changes. 

CAUTION: Changing admin role settings will update permissions for every admin assigned to that role.
