Why do supervisors need to approve their employees’ timecards every month?

Approving leave usage and hours worked is a basic responsibility of all supervisors. Timely approval and processing of timecards allows exempt employees to receive updated leave accrual balances for better vacation planning, supervisors to track unapproved leaves, and managers to track leave usage in limited categories such as Family Medical Leave. When non-exempt employees are added to CalTime in August, failure to approve timecards may affect whether employees are paid on time.
