Approving and rejecting timesheets
Approvers don't sign in to Templio — they act entirely from a link in an email.
The approver's email link
When a contractor submits a timesheet, their client's approver is emailed a link to a hosted approval page showing contractor name, week ending, standard and overtime hours, and a daily breakdown. From there they can:
- Approve Timesheet, or
- Expand Need to reject or query hours? and give a reason of at least 10 characters, then Reject Timesheet.
If an approver has several contractors reporting to them, they instead get one batch review link: a board listing every pending timesheet for that client, with a select-all checkbox and an Approve Selected (N Timesheets) button, plus the same reject-with-reason flow for an individual timesheet.
Every approve or reject is recorded in the immutable audit log, and the contractor is notified of the outcome either way.
The 48-hour reminder
If a timesheet is still awaiting approval 48 wall-clock hours after it was submitted, Templio automatically rotates the approval link (the old one stops working) and emails the approver a fresh reminder, with a copy to the agency.
From the dashboard
Dashboard → Approvals lists every submitted, approved and rejected timesheet for your agency. From there you can also record a timesheet manually on a contractor's behalf, and use Resend Reminders to re-send the approval email for one or more timesheets — useful if a link expired or an approver says it never arrived.

Once approved, a timesheet is ready to bill — see Invoicing and credit notes.
