Overview: When your employer uses the Time Card Approval feature, you'll be required to submit your time card for approval at the end of each pay period. There are several different potential statuses that your time card can be in, which you can view from the Buddy Punch website or mobile app.

Different Time Card Statuses
When your employer uses the Time Card Approval feature, your time card could be in any of the following statuses:
Draft: If your time card is in Draft mode, that means the time card is still open and time can still be tracked.
Pending Approval: If your time card is in Pending Approval status, it means that it has been submitted (either by you or your manager/admin) and requires review for final approval. The time card will be locked during this time.
Rejected: If your time card is in Rejected status, it means that your manager or admin has returned it to you for adjustments to be made. If an employee accidentally submits a time card too early, the Reject button can be used, allowing them to continue tracking time.
Approved: If your time card is in the Approved status, it means that your manager or administrator has approved your time card. The time card will become locked, and no further adjustments to time or time off can be made.
