# Approve or reject timesheets

_Skileo Human Resources › Timesheets · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

Timesheets opens on the days your employees submitted. Unfold a day to see its entries, then approve it, or reject it with a reason so the employee can correct it and submit it again.

## Open the list

Open “Timesheets” in the menu of “Human Resources”. The list shows one line per employee and per day, the latest day first. It opens on the days that wait for your answer.

Each line shows:

- “Employee”: click the photo to open the employee's page.
- “Day”.
- “Entries”: how many entries, and their projects. Click it to unfold the entries: the duration, the project, the task, the job type, “Billable” and the note.
- “Hours”: the day's total.
- “Paid”: for contractors, whether the day is paid. “N/A” for everyone else.
- “Status”: point at the icon of a rejected day to read the reason.

## Find a day

- Click “Search” and type a name.
- Click “Show filters” to filter by “Employee”, “Period” or “Status”. In “Status”, “Any” shows the submitted, approved and rejected days.

## Approve a day

1. Click the actions button (**⋮**) of the day.
2. Click “Approve”.

The day is approved and locked for good. To approve several days, for example a whole week, tick their lines and click “Approve” in the bar above the list. Days that can't be approved are skipped, and a message tells you how many.

Only submitted days can be approved or rejected.

## Reject a day

1. Click the actions button (**⋮**) of the day, then “Reject”.
2. In the window “Reason”, write what to correct, in 255 characters at most.
3. Click “Ok”.

The employee gets an e-mail with your reason, corrects the day and submits it again. You can also correct it yourself. See [Log or correct an employee's time](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/log-time-for-an-employee).

## Mark a contractor's day as paid

For a contractor's approved day, click “Mark as paid” in its actions menu, or tick several days and use the bar above the list. “Paid” then says “Yes”.

## Export the list

1. Filter the list if you need to.
2. Click “Export”. The window “Export table” opens.
3. Tick the columns you want and click “Confirm”.

Skileo downloads a CSV file with the employee, the day, the total time, paid and the status of each day, as the list is filtered.


## Common questions

### Why is the list empty?

No day waits for your answer: the list says “No submitted days are waiting for approval.” Set “Status” to “Any” to see the days you already answered.

### Can I reopen a day I approved?

No. An approved day can't change any more.

### Does the employee get an e-mail when I approve?

No. Only a rejection sends an e-mail.
