Labor Management includes a review and approval process for schedules. Each schedule profile includes the ability to configure approval and automatic approval settings.
Blank
The schedule for a labor period begins without an approval status and can be generated, edited, and saved by any authorized employee.
When an authorized employee clicks Submit in a schedule editor:
If automatic approval is not enabled, the approval status changes to Pending.
If automatic approval is enabled, the approval status changes to Approved or Rejected.
Pending
A schedule in the Pending state cannot be changed.
Authorized employees can change the status to Approved or Rejected.
Rejected
The system does not implement a schedule in the Rejected state. Authorized employees can edit, save, and submit a rejected schedule.
Approved
A schedule in the Approved state cannot be changed, and the system implements and enforces the shifts in an approved schedule. Authorized employees can then:
Send the schedule by email.
Make changes to the schedule, and then click Publish to submit the changed schedule for review. The system continues to enforce the approved schedule.
