Good to know

Important — Approving locks the hours. To change an approved shift, set it back to Pending first.
Note — Approve shows only for people allowed to approve hours. If you can't see it, ask your admin.
Tip — A shift with no pay rate is approved at $0 — the ⓘ beside Approve names who. Add the rate in Settings → Users.
