Time tracking without approval remains fragile. An employee can choose the wrong client, forget a task, or fill in a week late. With the approval workflow in PrikKlokPlus, managers get control before hours move into reporting or invoicing.
What the approval workflow does
Employees log hours. Managers review and change status. This creates a clear process between entry and processing.
- Open: newly entered hours wait for review.
- Approved: checked and ready for reporting or invoicing.
- Payed: processed for payment or internal handling.
- Closed: finished and no longer intended for changes.
How to approve hours
- Open the manager overview with all hours.
- Filter by employee, project, period, or open status.
- Check date, description, project, and number of hours.
- Change the status to approved when everything is correct.
- Use approved hours for invoicing or reporting.
Example: Lisa logs 6 hours on support, but the description belongs to implementation. The manager sees this in the list, requests a correction, or adjusts the project before the hours become billable.
When this helps
Approval is especially valuable for teams, client work, and flexible staffing. For a solo freelancer, direct processing may be enough. Once multiple people book time on the same client, approval prevents disputes later.

Frequently asked questions
Can a manager correct hours?
Yes, depending on permissions, a manager can correct status and details. Keep corrections transparent through activity history and team agreements.
When do hours become billable?
Use approved hours as the basis for invoicing. This prevents draft hours from accidentally landing on an invoice.
Should every week be approved separately?
That is often useful. Weekly review keeps errors small and avoids a large correction round at month end.
