Has your team corrected clock-ins that need your sign-off? Here's how to approve them in Kinmu. Open My Tasks. The Time Entries tab lists every pending day.

Only want to review one person? Pick them in Employees and the list filters.

Got lots of days? Tick them and select Approve selected. Select View details, the eye icon, to see clock-ins, clock-outs and breaks. You can also correct the times here. If everything adds up, select Approve time entry, the check icon. The day leaves the list. Once they're all done, you'll see there are no pending time entries.

That's how fast it is. With Kinmu you approve your team's clock-ins in a couple of clicks.

Common questions

How do I reject a clock-in?

Select Reject time entry, the cross icon in the row, and complete Rejection reason. The employee sees the reason and the day shows Review until they correct it.

Can I approve a whole week at once?

Yes. In My Tasks, open Time Entries, tick the days you want to approve and select Approve selected.

Result

The approved days no longer appear in My Tasks. When nothing is left, you see “No pending time entries.”
