Checking an Employees Timesheet Approval Status

Timesheets go through approval via supervisors and depending on the particular work performed, there may be additional layers of approval such as a grant manger. Finally, the last level of approval is the Payroll Coordinator who will approve the timesheet before pulling it into the payroll process.
