Overview: The time card approvals - required agreement option allows you to require an employee to agree to specific text, such as a question or statement, before submitting their time card for approval.
Example Required Agreement: I declare under penalty of perjury that I have accurately recorded all of the hours I worked (including hours outside of my normally scheduled workweek and overtime), I have received all of the meal periods and rest periods, to which I was entitled based on the number of hours I worked, and I have had the opportunity to make any necessary corrections to this time record before I signed it.

FAQ:
Q: Can an employee recall their time card?
A: Yes, employees are able to reset their time card to draft if they submitted too early or if they need to make changes. They will not be able to reset to draft if the time card has already been approved.
Q: My employee submitted their time card, and now they can't punch time. How do I fix this?
A: Once a time card is submitted for approval, it becomes locked so that no new time can be added. In order to allow an employee to continue punching time, the time card will need to be rejected or reset to draft.
