Key Features and Insights

 

1. Filters for Customizable Views

  • Users can apply filters to focus on specific periods, departments, or time statuses, including date filters for pay periods or predefined timeframes (e.g., last 30 days, last 2 years), as well as Time Reporter Group and Payable Status filters to refine data by employee groups and payable time status.

2. Needs Review Section: Identifying Potential Issues

This section highlights hours in different payroll statuses:

  • Approved
  • Needs Approval
  • Denied
  • Rejected Payroll

Example Scenario: If the payroll cycle has already started, but a high number of hours remain in “Approved” status, it could indicate that time has not been pulled into Payroll—prompting immediate attention.
