Days to Approve shows how many prior days are still pending. Approving a day means you lock down all shifts – that day is final. All days of a single pay cycle must be approved before you can export that payroll.
There are two columns that must be reviewed to Approve the day - Auto Punch Outs and Over Budget Departments.
First, select the Approve button to edit.
Then edit the Actual Out time, enter an explanation then Approve.
Looking at Days that are Over Budget:
Then open each department by clicking on it and provide an explanation for the variance.
Once each over budget department is approved, you’ll see all departments that were Under Budget. Nothing needs to be done with the page as this is just for reference. You can click Close.
Then select Approve to complete the day.
Once each over budget department is approved, you’ll see all departments that were Under Budget. Nothing needs to be done with the page as this is just for reference.
You can just click Close to move onto the next day that requires attention.
Labor Mgmt: Daily Approvals now have Departmental and GM Approvals.
In Labor Overview, you will now see two tabs, one for Daily Labor Approval and one for Daily GM Approvals.
If only the GM approves the hours per department per day, you only need to click on the Daily GM Approvals. The Daily Labor Approvals is meant to be used for managers per department that are approving their specific departments.
The Daily Labor Approval is the same Days to Approve that used to appear, showing APOs and Over & Under Budget by Department.
The Daily GM Approval combines the Daily GM Approvals (APO, Over and Under Budget Departments), with Housekeeping metrics and a final Review page.
The Departments tab has more metric comparisons - Hours, Wages, CPOR, Occupied Rooms and Occupancy %.
The Housekeeping tab reflects the information completed from the Housekeeping Approvals card on the Labor Overview tab.
The tab for Review is the final step of the Daily GM Check In. This will show how you've been trending in the first box. The second box shows Today's Totals, and the last one show Week to Date. Under each section is a text box for explanations for over budget for the day as well as how this will be improved for the week.
Click Submit Check In once all explanations have been entered.
