Managers can approve team members' time in the first phase of time approvals in 7pace Timetracker for monday.com. Benefits for this feature include:

- Streamlined approval process - Managers can quickly review and approve team members’ timesheets directly within Monday, reducing administrative overhead and keeping projects on track.
- Improved accuracy and accountability - By verifying worklogs before they are finalized, managers ensure time entries are accurate, leading to more reliable reporting and billing.
- Centralized team oversight - Managers gain a consolidated view of their team’s timesheets, including status indicators and filtering by person, making it easier to monitor workloads and spot issues early.
- Customizable approval periods - Organizations can define approval schedules that fit their reporting cycles, helping align timesheet reviews with payroll, invoicing, or project milestone needs.

## Verify and approve time

> 📝 **Note**: The Approval Periods app includes specific permissions for Administrators and Managers:

After team members create worklogs in 7pace Timetracker, managers can:

- Check each team member’s timesheet status

To review and verify submitted times:

1. Click the **Approval Periods** app link in the left-hand pane.
