Adjust an Approved Timesheet

Learn how to adjust a released timesheet, create an adjustment copy, and submit it for approval.

Once a timesheet is approved and released, it moves to historical records. If an error is later identified, you can create an adjustment timesheet to correct the information while preserving the original for audit purposes.


When you adjust a released timesheet, the system creates an adjustment copy. You can modify existing items, delete items, or add new entries. The original timesheet remains unchanged to maintain a full audit history.

๐Ÿ“Œ Note: You can create and submit an adjustment timesheet even if no edits are made.

Where to review approved timesheets (Interpreter Review)

Use Interpreter Review when you need to review timesheets that have been approved.

  1. Click Portal, then go to Interpreter Results.

  2. Click Interpreter Review.

โš ๏ธ Important: Timesheets (both original and adjustment) appear in Interpreter Review once they are approved by the approver.


How to Adjust an Approved Timesheet

  1. Go to the Time and Attendance workspace, then click the Historical tab.

  2. Find the timesheet, click the checkbox beside it, then use search filters if needed. The timesheet is selected.

  3. Click Adjust, then wait for the Adjust Timesheet Entry screen to open.

  4. Edit the required timesheet details, then review all changes.

  5. Click the lookup button next to Adjustment Reason, then select a reason from the dialog box.

  6. Submit the adjustment for approval or save it to complete later.
