1. How to approve a timesheet (except for W-2 Employees)
Freelancers need to submit their timesheets on a weekly basis in order to get paid. Once a timesheet has been submitted it will show up in the hirers 'Timesheets' tab as well as in their dashboard. The timesheets will be tagged as submitted, which means the freelancer has already filled out the timesheet on their end and submitted it for your approval.
Hirers need to click on 'View timesheet' to review it and approve it.
If the timesheet is incorrect you can reject it so the freelancer can amend it. You should message the freelancer through the message box with further instructions and the rejection reason.
Timesheets should be approved as soon as possible after being submitted in order to avoid delays in the freelancer's payment.

Monday
Hiring Managers review & approve all timesheets by 6:00 pm EST
If the hiring manager does not review & approve their timesheets, they are auto-approved by 8:30 am EST on Tuesday.
Tuesday - Wednesday

If a worker reports their hours after payroll is submitted then they will be paid the following week.
Friday
Workers are paid based on approved or auto-approved timesheets
