Validation

When you open an employee's timesheet to approve it, ESS validates the timesheet and checks for the following:

• Leave requests that have not been approved

  Any leave requests in the timesheet period must be approved before you can approve the timesheet.

• Overlapping timebands or leave requests.

If the timesheet includes a leave request that has not been approved or an overlapping timesheet, then the following message appears when you click the timesheet:

You cannot approve this timesheet from the popup because a problem exists for the timesheet. Click 'Edit Timesheet' below and then correct the problem.

Click Edit Timesheet to open the timesheet.

• If the timesheet includes unapproved leave requests, then the following message appears:

  All leave in the timesheet period must be approved before you can approve the timesheet. The following leave requests are not yet approved: [Leave type, date].

  If the request is waiting for someone other that you to approve it, then their name is displayed beside the message:

  

• If the timesheet includes overlapping timebands or leave requests, then the following error appears when you attempt to approve the request:

  [Date, time] clashes with [time].

Correct the problem in the timesheet and then you can approve it.
