Answer a Work Log check: confirm a worker’s own hours

For owners and managers1 min readUpdated

Someone who worked for you logged those days in their own Work Log, and asks you to confirm them. Confirming only marks their days as confirmed by you: nothing is added to your timesheets or payroll.

Step 1: Open the Work Log check

You get a notice and an email. Open Menu → Requests, on the Employee tab.

  1. Tap the request marked Work Log check.
Requests with a Work Log check from a worker
A Work Log check, in Menu → Requests.

Step 2: Check the days, then answer

  1. Each day they sent: where, the times, breaks, travel and hours, with any Added later or Edited marks.
  2. Your records differ? Tap Change on a day and type the hours your records say.
  3. Confirm all (or Confirm with your changes), or Can’t confirm with a reason, and a note if you like.

The worker is told either way. If you can’t confirm, they can ask again from the next day.

A Work Log check: the days the worker logged with Change on each, and Can’t confirm and Confirm all
The days, then your answer.

Good to know

  • Who can answer: people with Approve requests for the whole company (the owner and admins to start). Someone limited to some job sites or departments can’t, and nobody answers a check about their own work.
  • You see only what they sent: never their pay, tips, notes, photos or other jobs, and their Start and Stop locations only if they added them.
  • The first answer counts. It is answered from its own sheet: a plain Approve or Decline does nothing.
  • Confirmed by mistake? Open it and tap Take back the confirmation: the worker is told, and the days go back to Self-logged. If the worker changes a day you confirmed, it goes back to Self-logged and you are told.
  • You are reminded after 7 days, and a check nobody answers closes after 30 days.
