Approving Timesheets

Review and approve worker hours after shifts are completed.

3 min readUpdated January 2026

Approving timesheets is the final step in the shift process. It ensures workers are paid accurately and on time for their hard work.

How Timesheets Work

When a worker clocks in and out using the KOVR app, their hours are automatically recorded and sent to you as a pending timesheet.

Reviewing Pending Timesheets

  1. Go to your **Dashboard** and select the Timesheets tab.
  2. Select the shift you want to review.
  3. Check the clock-in, clock-out, and total hours for each worker.

Tip: We recommend approving timesheets within 12 hours of shift completion. This allows workers to access their earnings viaInstant Pay quickly.

Adjusting Hours

If a timesheet is incorrect (e.g., a worker forgot to clock out or arrived later than recorded), you can adjust the hours before approving:

  • Tap Edit next to the worker's time.
  • Enter the correct start and end times.
  • Provide a brief reason for the adjustment (this will be visible to the worker).
  • The worker will be notified of the change and can accept or dispute it.

Approving and Rating

When you approve a timesheet, you'll also be prompted to rate the worker:

  1. Click Approve & Rate.
  2. Confirm the total payment amount.
  3. Select a star rating (1-5 stars).
  4. Leave a brief review sharing what they did well or where they can improve.

What Happens After Approval?

Once you click approve:

  • Your payment method on file is charged for the final amount.
  • Funds are transferred to the worker's KOVR wallet.
  • The worker is notified and can leave a review for you.
  • An invoice is generated and sent to your email.

Disputes

If a worker disagrees with your adjustment, they may open a dispute. Our support team will review the chat logs and system data to help reach a fair resolution.

Important: Continued failure to approve timesheets promptly may result in negative employer ratings and reduced access to top-tier workers.
