Payroll Time Approval Workflow Tasks

Time consumer sets with Payroll selected start these approval tasks. The ELA task starts when the payroll consumer configuration uses entry-level approval.

Here's what the actionable tasks do:

TimeCardApproval	TimecardApprovalELA
Supports header-level and line-level approval configurations that use payroll data on the time card, for the specified individual and time card period.	Supports line-level approval configurations that use payroll data on the time card, for the specified individual and time card period.
Notifies the configured approvers to approve or reject the time entries that they're responsible for. The approvers see all payroll time data, even the data that they don't approve.	Notifies the configured approvers to approve or reject only the time entries that they're responsible for. Approvers see only the payroll time data that they approve. Payroll data for the time card isn't ready for transfer until all time card entries are approved.
Notifies specified recipients based on time card status, for example, notifies individuals when approvers approve or reject their time cards.	Notifies specified recipients based on time entry status, for example, let's individuals whether approvers approved or rejected their time entry.

By default, the TimeCardApproval task evaluates payroll time entries only when the entire time card is ready for approval.

Caution: To avoid issues with approval routing for the TimeCardApproval task, TimeEntryApprovalRuleSet and TimecardApprovalRules must each have either an active rule or call IgnoreParticipant.

The TimeCardApprovalFYI task notifies individuals when approvers approve or reject their time entries for the specified time card period. You can disable this task so that individuals don't get notified about approved or rejected time cards. Because this task isn't rule based, you can't configure it to disable only one notification. For example, you can't disable the notification about approved time cards while keeping enabled the notification about rejected time cards.
